Closing the Gap: Priorities for Essential Change in Mental Health. The “What”
Aims to bridge the gap between our long-term ambition within No Health Without Mental Health and shorter-term action. It seeks to show how changes in local service planning and delivery will make a difference, in the next two or three years, to the lives of people with mental health problems.
25 areas where people can expect to see, and experience, the fastest changes.
These are the priorities for action

7. Why do we need the Mental Health Framework now
Why do we need the Mental Health Framework now? The NHS Mandate sets out five “domains” four of which have indicators related specifically to mental health
Domain 1
Preventing people from dying prematurely
Reducing premature death in people with serious mental illness
Indicator: Excess under 75 mortality rates in adults with serious mental illness  (PFOF)
Domain 2
Enhancing quality of life for people with long term  conditions
Enhancing quality of life for people with mental illness
Indicator: employment of people with mental illness (ASCOF, PHOF)
Adult Social Care Outcomes Framework: People are able to find employment when they want, maintain a family and social life and contribute to community, avoid loneliness and isolation
Indicator – number of people in contact with secondary mental health service living independently, with or without support PHOF 1.6
Domain 3
Helping people to recovery from episodes of ill health and following injury
Access to psychological therapies
Indicator – number of people entering therapy, recovery rate, BME access and over 65 recovery rates CCG OF
Domain 4
Ensuring people have a positive experience of care
Improving experience of healthcare for people with mental illness
Indicator – patient experience of community mental health services
Friends & Family Test indicator in development  - to be introduced in mental health

8. Good things about Leeds
Leeds has well established mental health services provided by primary care, adult social care, voluntary sector agencies and secondary mental health providers that are structured to meet the range of needs along the mental health continuum. These are currently commissioned by Leeds City Council, CCGs, and NHS England. 
The level of investment is on a par with other areas.
Partnership working is well established and the voluntary sector providers are very well integrated into mainstream services and are highly valued.
Commissioners and providers work together to plan and provide high quality mental health service and these are closely monitored through contractual mechanisms.
Leeds has well-established service users and carer involvement networks and processes for engagement with membership and representation at all levels.

9. More to do
Feedback from consultation events in 2013 with service users, carers, clinicians and service providers identified that there is still work to do in ensuring effective joined up working arrangements between statutory and all voluntary sector providers to deliver continuity of care. The main issues with the current system are:
It is not easy to understand to anyone outside of it
There is no central point of information that describes it well
Specialist advice is not easy to access if you are outside the service
There is inconsistency of care management
The wait for talking therapies is too long
It is not consistently “outcome” focussed
We also want to engage the general public, economic, social and commercial communities in Leeds, and secure their support in promoting well-being and resilience “Mind Out for Leeds”

10. Local Challenges
Leeds has good range of services but they have become complex and at times fragmented  - we need to have a clearer and more integrated mental health service for Leeds, that everyone can understand 
Mental health as an issue is still not well integrated into wider services and still being seen as separate and specialist
·     Unemployment and the economic downturn, including welfare reform are having an impact on people’s mental health across the city and not just in ‘deprived Leeds’
 Demand for services is unlikely to decrease and we need to accommodate the needs of increasingly diverse communities in the city
·     Information about mental health and mental health services is not centralised in the city – making it difficult for public and professionals to navigate their way to what will help.
We need to focus more on early intervention to prevent crises
·     Leeds is an unequal city – with widely different life expectancy depending on the area you live in – those inequalities also impact on mental health
·     Expenditure on mental health needs to be re-defined as an investment in communities, their resilience and cohesion

CHILDREN AND FAMILIES Children and families obtain appropriate professional support early in their lives. 4. CRISIS Mental health crises are prevented where possible but where they do occur service users receive timely comprehensive professional support. 5.
