Mental health is not just an issue affecting the NHS or the executive member for adult services, far away from the mainstream of council business. It should be a key priority for councils in terms of social services provision and in relation to social inclusion, regeneration and promoting educational achievement. As major employers in many areas, local authorities also have a duty to protect and promote the mental health of their employees.

This report provides information about the key principles of best value for elected members and others responsible for determining priorities in social care. Since its implementation in April 2000 there has been increasing concern that best value has become managerialised, process driven and too concerned with a tick box evaluation of effectiveness, which does not give adequate consideration to quality issues. The report shows that this need not be the case, if elected members play a role in ensuring that best value is used as a tool for continuous improvement in social services.
