Description

The purpose of this document is to describe an overarching service framework of how community mental health services for adult patients suffering from severe mental illness (SMI), their family and carers should be provided.
This document also delineates the roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders to efficiently deliver treatment and care. Finally, this document depicts how an integrated service is formulated based on patients’ individual needs, but not dictated upon professional or organisational boundaries.
This document focuses on services provided for patients with SMI. Mental health services for more prevalent but less severe mental health illnesses, and those services provided by the private sector, are outside the scope of this document.
