Recently commentators and clinicians have been challenging the robustness of the Community Mental Health Team (CMHT) model. Managers have also become increasingly sceptical about the utility of the traditional, generic CMHT which attempts to combine assessment, care planning and review with service delivery, such as crisis response, assertive outreach, continuing care and primary care liaison and counselling. This case study presents the process of outcome of a strategic review of mental health services in East Yorkshire which may look beyond the CMHT as the preferred way forward.
