The ‘Improving services for people with mental health needs who present to A&E’ CQUIN and the ‘Transitions out of Children and Young People’s (CYP) Mental Health Services’ CQUIN (Commissioning for Quality and Innovation) aim to incentivise providers to work with partners to improve patient care by delivering services more efficiently and effectively.
People with mental ill health are three times more likely to present to A&E than the general population so the former CQUIN will allow mental health and acute trusts over the next two years to access funding aimed in year one at improving support for the top 0.25% or 150 to 200 people per A&E, who use it most frequently through improved recognition and coding of mental health needs and proactive care planning.
Year two focus will be on reducing overall number of attendances at A&E by people with mental health needs as improved community-based mental health services come online.

CQC is carrying out a review of how NHS trusts identify, report, investigate and learn from deaths of people using their services.
This follows a request from the Secretary of State for Health, which was part of the Government’s response to a report into the deaths of people with a learning disability or mental health problem in contact with Southern Health Foundation NHS foundation Trust.
CQC’s review will consider the quality of practice in relation to identifying, reporting and investigating the death of any person in contact with a health service managed by an NHS trust; whether the person is in hospital, receiving care in a community setting or living in their own home. The review will pay particular attention to how NHS trusts investigate and learn from deaths of people with a learning disability or mental health problem.

A new waiting time target for admission to acute psychiatric care of four hours should be introduced, a commission convened by the Royal College of Psychiatrists has said.1
The commission warned that access to acute care for severely ill adult mental health patients was “inadequate nationally and, in some cases, potentially dangerous.” There were major problems both in admissions to psychiatric wards and in providing alternative care and treatment in the community, it added.
The commission asked for a new waiting time pledge to be included in the NHS Constitution from October 2017. It wants a maximum four hour wait for admission to an acute psychiatric ward or for home based treatment.
Dr Paul Lelliott, Deputy Chief Inspector of Hospitals (and lead for mental health) said:
"We welcome this report, which highlights the failure of Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust to investigate and learn from the deaths of people who received care from their Learning Disability and Mental Health services. We will be working closely with NHS England, Monitor and the Health and Safety Executive to understanding the implications of its findings.
"We will also be undertaking a wider review into the investigation of deaths of people with Learning Disabilities in Mental Health and Acute trusts in different parts of the country. As part of this review, we will assess whether opportunities for prevention of death have been missed, for example by late diagnosis of physical health problems."
NHS England has today published an independent report into the deaths of people with a learning disability or mental health problem at Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust, and highlighted a system-wide response.
