This guide sets out good practice in relation to making direct payments more accessible to people with mental health problems. It is intended to support the efforts that all local authorities, primary care trusts, mental health trusts and non-statutory providers of mental health services and support will wish to make to ensure that direct payments become a standard option within mental health services. This guide is specifically about the payments that are made to individuals who have been assessed as needing social care services in order that they can make their own arrangements to meet their needs. The number of people receiving direct payments is currently a key performance assessment framework indicator (AO/C51) for local authorities.

Deaf and deafblind people experience great difficulty in getting access to health and social care services, and those with mental health problems are no exception. Providing effective mental health services to the Deaf community is more costly than for mainstream services. The existing specialised Deaf services should develop comprehensive multi-agency and multi-professional community services all over the country, and provide care co-ordination for all patients in their care.

The Care Programme Approach (CPA) should be applied to older people with severe mental illness due to schizophrenia or other psychoses. The assessment of their needs should be based on the Single Assessment Process (SAP) for older people. SAP, plus critical aspects of CPA, should be applied to other older people with severe functional or organic mental health problems, who were they younger would be provided for under CPA. When individuals subject to CPA reach old age, switches to SAP are not inevitable.
