Delivering person-centred, safe and effective, mental health care

One in four people will experience mental health problems at some stage in their lives.

The Scottish Government has made a commitment to ensure that good quality mental health services are available for everyone that needs them, at all levels of need.

To ensure that mental health services across the age spectrum deliver person‑centred, safe and effective care we are taking forward two key programmes of work.

  • Supporting the development and implementation of Integrated Care Pathways (ICPs) in adult, older adult and child and adolescent mental health.
  • Development of a Scottish Mental Health Patient Safety Programme.
