This Mental Health Action Plan aims to improve people’s experience of mental health services in Northern Ireland and ensure the health and social care system work better to be able to improve people’s experience. The actions in this plan fall into three broad categories: immediate service developments, longer term strategic objectives and preparatory work for future strategic decisions. The first category aims to provide fixes to immediate problems and immediate service developments where there has been an identified immediate need. This includes, for example, consideration of alternative methods of working for the mental health workforce to respond to the immediate, and significant, workforce pressures. The longer-term strategic objectives aim to fulfil future strategic needs and includes, for example, a workforce review to consider how the mental health workforce should be structured. The third category relates to preparatory work for future strategic directions. This includes, for example, development of an action plan for the use of technology and creating better governance structures. The document also contains a COVID-19 Mental Health Response Plan as an annex, which outlines key areas of intervention during the pandemic to help and support the population as a whole.

These Regulations implement (in Northern Ireland) the provisions of Council Directive 2000/78/EC (OJ No. L 303, 2.12.2000, p.16), establishing a general framework for equal treatment in employment and occupation ("the Directive"), so far as it relates to disability discrimination but only insofar as the Directive's obligations impact upon Chapter II of Part III of the Special Educational Needs and Disability (Northern Ireland) Order 2005 (S.I. 2005/1117 (N.I. 6)) ("the 2005 Order"). The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2004 (S.R. 2004/55), which came into operation on 1st October 2004, implemented the Directive's obligations with respect to Parts II and III of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995.

An action plan for the implementation of the recommendations set out in the Bamford Review of Mental Health and Learning Disability, an independent review of legislation, policy and service provision, concluded in August 2007. Broadly the review called for: continued emphasis on promotion of positive mental health; reform of mental health legislation; a continued shift from hospital to community-based services; development of a number of specialist services, to include children and young people, older people, those with addiction problems and those in the criminal justice system; and an adequate trained workforce to deliver these services. The plan sets out in detail key actions aimed at: promoting positive health, wellbeing and early intervention; supporting people to lead independent lives; supporting carers and families; providing better services to meet individual needs; and developing structures and a legislative framework.

This document sets out minimum standards for day care settings in Northern Ireland whether provided by the independent or statutory sectors. The standards specify the arrangements, facilities and procedures that need to be in place to ensure the delivery of a quality service. These services are targeted at persons aged 18 years and over. They are designed to meet the assessed needs of individuals for care, support, supervision or rehabilitation by reason of mental illness, functional impairment, cognitive impairment, learning disability, ill-health, age, family, or life circumstances. These standards apply to a place where persons in need of prescribed services may attend for the purposes of assessment, rehabilitation or counselling but where they are not provided with board or accommodation; day care delivered in a residential care or nursing home setting, as appropriate; and services provided as outreach from a day care setting, as relevant and appropriate.
