The Five Year Forward View for Mental Health

As part of the NHS Five Year Forward View, NHS England Chief Executive Simon Stevens commissioned an independent taskforce to produce a ten-year strategy for improving mental health outcomes across health and care. The taskforce was chaired by Paul Farmer, Chief Executive of Mind, with Jacqui Dyer, an expert by experience and carer, as Vice Chair. The taskforce put an emphasis on coproduction with people with mental health problems and carers, over twentythousand of whom responded to the consultation and shaped the report.
