Review of the London mental health transformation programmes

NHS England on behalf of Healthy London Partnership (HLP) invites expressions of interest and proposal submissions, for the formal review of HLP's London mental health transformation programmes, with the intention of instituting change in order to improve impact where necessary.

HLP was formed in May 2015 is a collaboration between London's 32 CCGs and NHS England (London Region) in response to the NHS Five Year Forward View (2014) and the London Health Commission's Better Health for London (BHfL) (2014).

HLP also supports the delivery of the Sustainability and Transformation Plans with local Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships (STPs).

HLP programmes are subject to the principle of subsidiarity, i.e. transformation is only delivered at a London level when it can't be delivered more locally.

The review objectives are: A.

Produce an evaluation of the impact of the current HLP Mental Health transformation programmes at a system, service and patient level, including their priorities, change model and methods, leadership and governance.

B.

Use the evaluation and the available evidence base to produce a review of the HLP Mental Health programmes that recommends any changes to the programmes, in the context of London's evolving health and care system, including future priorities, change model and methods, leadership and governance that will maximise impact.

In conducting this work it is expected that the reviewer will evaluate three HLP Mental Health programme work streams: 1.

The Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMH) programme 2.

Adult Mental Health programme 3.

Crisis Mental Health (Urgent and Emergency) programme The outputs will include a final evaluation report (part A above) to be completed by the end of November 2018 and a final review report (part B above) by the end of October 2018.

The available budget for this review is £60,000 (including VAT and all expenses).
