The Bamford Taskforce was set up to take forward the recommendations of Bamford Review of Mental Health and Learning Disability. This is the 2nd annual report of the Bamford Taskforce and sets out the progress made during 2011. The key themes for the Taskforce and the associated workgroups, drawn from ‘Delivering the Bamford Vision (DHSSPS 2009)’ are: promoting positive health, wellbeing and early intervention; supporting people to live independent lives; supporting carers; providing better public services to meet people’s needs; and providing structures and a legislative base to deliver the Bamford Vision. Additionally in 2011 the Taskforce has paid increased attention to recovery approaches. The report discusses the key themes across the work undertaken and the achievements to date and also gives details on progress and challenges in each specific service area. The specific service areas are: Mental Health Services; Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services; Protect Life and Mental Health and Wellbeing Promotion; Learning Disability; Autistic Spectrum Disorder; and Substance Misuse. The report also contains the final Health and Social Care Board (HSCB) and Public Health Agency (PHA) return to the 2009-2011 Department of Health and Social Services and Public Safety (DHSSPS) Bamford Action Plan.
