The consultation is led by NHS Leicester City Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), NHS West Leicestershire CCG and NHS East Leicestershire and Rutland CCG.
As clinical commissioning groups, they have a legal responsibility – and as a moral duty – to involve people in a public consultation when considering significant changes to NHS services.
This consultation is about proposals to invest and improve adult mental health services for people in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland when their need is urgent or they need planned care and treatment.
The proposals are to join up mental health services with physical health and social services to improve the health and wellbeing of local people.
Specifically how best to improve care – in people’s homes, the community, and in hospital.
