Wales Audit - Important improvements made in adult mental health services
There have been important improvements in adult mental health services in many parts of Wales since the Auditor General published a baseline review in 2005, although progress has been variable and some service gaps and inequalities remain. In a follow up report published today, the Auditor General also says that the Welsh Government, NHS bodies, and councils face some new challenges in further developing services.
The report says that there has been a shift in resources from inpatient to community services and many areas now have a broader range of community services in place, although they do not always have adequate capacity and there is no clear link between the level and mix of resources and the variations in need across different parts of Wales.
