In February 2011 the Government published No Health Without Mental Health, its cross-government, all-age strategy for mental health in England. An Impact Assessment (IA) was published at the same time. The Implementation framework (the Framework) was published in 2012 in order to translate the strategy’s 6 high-level objectives into specific actions and interpret them for particular audiences. The Framework sets out potential actions that a range of local organisations can take to implement the strategy and to improve mental health and wellbeing outcomes for people, while contributing to the broader efficiency agenda. The purpose of this supplementary note is to add to this evidence base where appropriate, in particular where an action featured in the framework has not been discussed in the IA. It describes why the publication of the Framework was needed. It also provides additional evidence on some actions featured in the Framework, have not been discussed in detail in the IA. These include: evidence-based mental health training for a wide range of professionals; involving people with mental health problems, their families and carers in commissioning and service design processes; measuring progress (the mental health dashboard); and reducing mental health stigma and tackling discrimination.

This document describes the Government’s key pledges for mental health and how its public sector reforms and commitment to a Big society will transform public mental health and mental health services. Sections are included on each of the six high level objectives agreed to improve mental health outcomes. These are: more people will have good mental health; more people with mental health problems will recover; more people with mental health problems will have good physical health; more people will have a positive experience of care and support; fewer people will suffer avoidable harm; fewer people will experience stigma and discrimination. Each of these shared objective is explained in detail, how they will improve mental health outcomes, effective interventions that are known work and the evidence base for them, what Government will do to support local action; indicators that can be used to assess progress, and the Quality Standards in development. The document is published alongside 'No Health Without Mental Health: a cross-government mental health outcomes strategy for people of all ages', which outlines the Coalition Government’s overall approach to improving mental health outcomes.
