Integrated care boards are responsible for providing mental health services to meet the needs of their local populations.
As part of our plan for change, we will reduce delays and provide faster treatment.
We are working with NHS England to transform mental health services, shift care from hospitals to local communities and increase access to support for people across the country, including rural areas.
