Resource Allocation in Mental Health

Simon Duffy explores the possibility of integrating resource allocation systems for health and social care for mental health.

Author: Simon Duffy

Resource Allocation in Mental Health is a discussion paper which sets out the case for developing one integrated approach for allocating resources to people with mental health problems. 

It argues that the current divide between health and social care in mental health is not coherent and that a much better approach can be developed by building on the current systems of individual funding which have been developing within the NHS.
