| Annotation | The Care Programme Approach (CPA) was introduced in 1990 to provide a framework for effective mental health care for people with severe mental health problems. The importance of close working between health and social care services was stressed, as well as the need to involve service users and their carers in assessing and planning service users' support and care. Significant developments since 1999 (e.g. the National Service Framework for Mental Health), coupled with evidence pointing to the need for improvements has prompted this review, led by Pat Holman. The overall aim is that CPA should be underpinned by a set of agreed common values and principles. This consultation asks who should the CPA be for; and proposes that national competencies should be identified for the role of care co-ordinator. Other sections consider: continuity of care; service user and carer engagement and involvement; physical health and social outcome needs; choice in mental health; clinical risk assessment and management; tackling bureaucracy; and measuring and improving quality. Annexes include current definitions for the CPA, and on the CPA in relation to the Common Assessment Framework for Adults (CAF). (RH). |
