Question: ‘Blink and You'll Miss It’? The Impact of the National Service Framework for Mental Health on Primary Care
Answer: Four years on and it is worth asking what kind of an impact the National Service Framework for Mental Health (Department of Health, 1999) has made on primary care organisations, professionals and services. As we all know, primary care is infinitely variable and it is difficult to generalise across the country. So in putting together this article, as well as reflecting on experience from CMHSD’s consultancy work, I have talked with a range of people in different parts of the country and with different perspectives (including GPs, PCT managers, health promotion specialists and mental health service development managers). What emerges may be an idiosyncratic view, but one that I hope is based in reality.
