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.

When the mental health implementation guide was published in March 2002, it was declared: 'community mental health teams, in some places known as primary care liaison teams, will continue to be the mainstay of the system. CMHTs have an important role to play in supporting service users and families in community settings'. The emphasis in this document is on identifying the functions which CMHTs will need to perform.
