Consultation on Low Secure Services and Psychiatric Intensive Care

Published: 10 February 2012

A consultation document on low secure services and psychiatric intensive care has been issued for a three month consultation by stakeholders.
The purpose of this consultation is to invite the views of stakeholders on how new guidance will operate by explaining the rationale behind the strategic approach and raising questions which cover a broad range of issues.
Subject to Parliamentary approval, the NHS will undergo a period of substantial change in how it commissions health services. The planned changes will introduce a new commissioning architecture, formally establishing a new NHS Commissioning Board and clinical commissioning groups.

The consulation document can be found here.
