Description
The Mental Health Strategy set out to transform the mental wellbeing of people in Scotland and the mental health services they use. The Strategy has formed the basis of a programme of work that goes well beyond the initial 40 actions. While this report summarises what has happened with each of those actions, it also describes how the landscape has changed since 2017, with many ambitious pieces of work extending well beyond the Strategy’s original scope.Within the first two years of the Strategy, 19 of the 40 actions are complete or nearly complete. The remainder are in progress, with only Action 40 (a review at the halfway point of the Strategy in 2022) not yet underway. Beyond progress on the actions themselves, there have been several sets of recommendations from various reports and audits that have formed the basis of major new programmes of work which build on the initial ambitions set out in the Strategy.
