RESOLVED:  Members are asked to agree the All Age Mental Health Strategy

Cllr W Whyte, Cllr Macpherson and Ms Bowie, Service Director for Integrated Comissioning provided an introduction to the item and gave an overview of the strategy.  National statistics around mental health were highlighted to provide context for the importance of ensuring correct provision of services.  The strategy reflected the national standards and would combine two previous strategies to produce a four year plan that included children to adopt an “all age” approach.  Extensive consultation had taken place which had included workshops and conferences.
