(July 2008)
The Directors have agreed to fund a project put forward by Lord Layard's Mental Health Policy Group to research a map of mental health. The aim is to produce an intelligible description and evaluation of the mental health situation in the Country largely based on existing data which has not been properly collated and reconciled. The intention is to answer such questions as:
- How many ill people are there?
- What treatment do they get?
- What resources are used?
- What benefits result fropm the treatment?
- What staff are involved?
Work started in March 2008. It is hoped to publish the results in early 2009.
