Mental Health Taskforce
08/05/2015
In March 2015, NHS England announced a new Mental Health Taskforce which will develop a five year national strategy for mental health, covering all ages. The strategy will align to the Five Year Forward View and will be informed by a wide range of lived experience and professional expertise.
They want to ensure that a wide range of stakeholders have the opportunity to feed in, therefore Mind and Rethink Mental Illness are running a survey, the results of which will feed into the Taskforce.
The survey is now open at www.surveymonkey.com/s/mh2020. The survey will close on 15 May 2015.
There is further information about the Mental Health Taskforce and how you can get involved available on Mind’s website.
