MHIS Independent Review

The Assurance Engagement of the Mental Health Investment Standard 2019/20 – Briefing for Clinical Commissioning Groups issued by NHSE&I states that:

‘CCGs must continue to increase investment in mental health services in line with the Mental Health Investment Standard (MHIS).

‘For 2019/20 the standard requires CCGs to spend at least their ‘target spend’: defined as their 2018/19 outturn, increased in line with overall programme allocation growth, plus an additional 0.7% to reflect the additional mental health funding included in CCG allocations for 2019/20, plus any shortfall from 2018/19 (incorporating any adjustments from the independent review of the 2018/19 MHIS achievement).’

Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin CCG considers that it has complied with the requirements of the Mental Health Investment Standard for 2019/20. Please find the relevant documents attached.
