Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, when he expects all regions in England to have a complete Liaison and Diversion service.
This question was answered on 4th May 2016
Liaison and Diversion services are currently provided to over 50% of the population of England. Full roll out by 2020/21, as recommended by the “Five Year Forward View for Mental Health” report published in February 2016, is subject to a decision from HM Treasury on the full business case. A formal response is expected from HM Treasury in the next few days and an announcement will be made shortly thereafter.
