This note looks at the history of and recent developments in efforts to achieve parity of esteem between mental and physical health in care standard. It examines the various ways in which parity is defined and measured, the challenges of achieving this ideal and the strategies that may be employed to that end. It suggests that stigma and discrimination are important barriers to parity and that healthcare is sometimes administered in ways that are considered barriers to parity. Key issues for addressing parity of esteem are education, tackling legal and funding barriers and liaison between specialists to achieve ‘whole person’ care (which includes both mental and physical health).
