One of the resources that make up the Dementia Commissioning pack, this document includes: an overview of patients eligible for mental health liaison services, what this service should involve and a list of the evidence sources used to inform the hospital mental health liaison service design. The document begins by highlighting the challenge general hospitals face in meeting the needs of older people with mental health conditions. It then looks at how a mental health liaison service can improve outcomes and ensure hospital resources are used efficiently. It then looks at specific aspects of the service: assessment and diagnosis; providing support and advice on management and care planning to other parts of the hospital; and contributing to staff training and organisational development. The resources that make up the Commissioning Packs have been designed to help commissioners improve the quality of services and minimise unwarranted variation in service delivery.

A consultation on the delivery plan of the Welsh Government’s strategy to improve mental health and well-being, for the period 2016-19. The strategy consists of five chapters and is underpinned by 18 outcomes which are set out in this document. Strategy outcomes and delivery plan priority areas have been mapped against the goals of the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act (2015). The priority areas identified in the delivery plan are: all children have the best possible start in life, enabled by giving parents / care-givers the support they need; all children and young people are more resilient and better able to tackle poor mental well-being when it occurs; children and young people experiencing mental health problems get better sooner; people at working age are more resilient and better able to tackle poor mental well-being when it occurs; people with mental health problems, their families and carers are treated with dignity and respect; services meet the needs of the diverse population of Wales; people with a mental health problem have access to appropriate, evidence based and timely services; people of all ages experience sustained improvement to their mental health and well-being through access to positive life chances; Wales is a ‘Dementia Friendly Nation’; the quality of life for older people is improved, particularly through addressing loneliness and isolation. The consultation closes on 4 April 2016. (Edited publisher abstract)

This report argues that intermediate care, a range of services to promote faster recovery from illness, prevent faster recovery from illness, reduce hospital admissions and to maximise independence, is vital to improve the health and well being of older people. The national service framework for older people is a ten year programme of action linking services to support independence and promote good health, specialised services for key conditions, and culture change so that all older people and their carers are always treated with respect, dignity and fairness. The overall aim is to ensure consistent services across the country and reduce variations in standards and service levels.
