To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment his Department has made of the effectiveness of Local Transformation Plans in improving the scale, quality and effectiveness of therapeutic support available to children who have experienced abuse.
Alistair Burt
Support for vulnerable groups, which includes children who have experienced abuse, is key to the transformation of children and young people’s mental health services as set out in Future in mind. To assess the effectiveness of Local Transformation Plans (LTPs), NHS England’s Local Transformation Plan Guidance included a tracking template that all clinical commissioning groups had to complete. It set out local progress milestones and financial spend.
This tracker will be used as the basis for assurance assessment in 2015/16, and from 2016/17 onwards progress on local transformation will become part of the mainstream planning assurance process to ensure the successful delivery of the transformation of children and young people’s mental health.
NHS England has also commissioned a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the LTPs, in order to support policy makers, local commissioners and services to understand and use the data that is contained within the plans to drive further improvements. LTPs will be reviewed from a narrative, analytical and financial perspective, with thematic reviews carried out in key focus areas, that align with Future in mind principles. This includes vulnerable groups.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what specialist training in mental health commissioning is provided to clinical commissioning group mental health commissioners.

NHS England does not provide specialist mental health training to clinical commissioning group (CCG) commissioners.
NHS England provides a range of information, tools and guidance to support mental health commissioning and the transformation of services.

NHS England Strategic Clinical Networks also provide support to CCG commissioners as part of their support and development role. One of the Strategic Clinical Networks is focused on Mental Health, Dementia and Neurological Conditions.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what steps he is taking to ensure that block contracts are being phased out for mental health services.
Alistair Burt
NHS England and NHS Improvement are introducing changes to the National Tariff that will rule out unaccountable block contracts for adult mental health services that provide poor value for money and do not support the adoption of new models of care. NHS England and NHS Improvement have developed two possible payment models that could be adopted locally – one based on care clusters on an episodic or year of care basis, and the other a capitation-based model.
Whichever payment model is adopted for use locally, there should be a strong element that links payment to outcomes, particularly the recommendations arising from the report of the independent Mental Health Taskforce.
