The proposals
Mental health services in Cumbria have changed significantly for the better over the past few years. We have seen great improvements in the way people are treated for more severe mental health problems, with increased investment in community services as an alternative to treatment in hospital settings. We have also seen the start of better services for people with common mental health problems.
This consultation takes that journey one further step along the road to modern, effective mental health services. It asks you to consider changes in adult inpatient services to improve their quality and to make them fit for purpose, given the developments that have happened in community services.
