The new model of care for low and medium secure adult mental health services aims to provide care closer to home and reduce the need for hospital admissions and out-of-area treatments.

The NHS trusts making up the network, along with Southern Health, are: Oxford Health (who led the bid); Berkshire Healthcare; Central and Northwest London; Solent; and Dorset HealthCare; along with Response, a charity that provides home-based mental health care.
