As we approach the final year of the Five Year Forward View programme (5YFV) the NHS has confirmed funding for Early Intervention in Psychosis (EIP) teams in 2020/21.  This is now an extra £52million for CCGs to invest in their local EIP teams to what is prescription viagra currently invested.

This announcement is very encouraging – and there are exacting performance requirements attached to this investment:  The 5YFV for Mental Health requires us to develop EIP teams to a new national standard and ensure access to NICE approved treatment within 14 levitra kaufen in frankfurt days of referral. 

Good progress is being made in supporting teams to achieve the national quality standard (Level 3- performing well). The target is for 60% of teams to reach this level by 2021.  The Long-Term Plan has now clarified buy levitra in india the objectives for EIP beyond this date.  By 2024 all teams in https://healthiaso.com/propecia-uk-no-precription/ England are required to reach level 3. Furthermore, the NHS has reiterated the requirement for real levitra online best price EIP to provide a service to people presenting with At-Risk Mental States and to support the full 14-65 age group.

One of the criticisms levelled at the NHS historically is that investment intended for EIP has not reached the intended teams.  Distributing this money through CCG baseline funding at a time of austerity for public services has inevitably led to problems. 

Commissioners and providers viagra uit india will be held to account for how they have spent their share of this vital new investment and will need to report to NHS England on their plans for investment in EIP and the money they have spent.

NHS England has produced a ‘Mental Health LTP analytical tool’ which enables CCG and STP level indicative investment to be calculated.  For access to this tool contact your NHS England regional mental health lead.
