This analysis paints a challenging picture of mental health services and considers how limited access to services is hampering outcomes in people with serious conditions. Reflecting on significant gaps in service provision, the report finds that several barriers including; limited public engagement, workforce and funding are impacting capacity in the sector before concluding that clearer pathways and a concerted approach from the centre are key to overcoming them.
