5. 2012/13 will be challenging….

6. Key Challenges: Life expectancy of people with serious mental illness is 20-30 years shorter than that of the general population - due mainly to physical health needs. Local population is increasing faster in older age groups which leads to disproportionately high increase in dementia. Number of local people with dementia predicted to rise more than 80% in next 20 years. Impact of the recession Most mental health conditions are more common in people from low income households. Research suggests unemployment increases are associated with increasing suicides and alcohol abuse. Moving from a dependency culture towards recovery and personalisation For some people who have received services for a considerable time, this is a challenge. Providing services at times when people really need them People need services at weekends and evenings too – we provide 24/7 services.

8. This year, next year and beyond..  Meet financial challenges, while maintaining and improving service quality  Establish effective working relationships with emerging NHS organisations such as CCGs and Health and Wellbeing Boards  Achieve true integration of physical and mental health services across primary, community and acute sectors  Work outside “silos” & build on partnerships
