Resources for Commissioners & Providers

The National Mental Health Development Unit (NMHDU) commissioned a series of papers to define the new relationships needed between NHS organisations and providers of housing and housing-related support, to ensure that housing is cemented in the new NHS. This was founded on the belief that improved recovery outcomes can be delivered through housing and housing related services being seen as an essential part of the care pathway. If housing and housing-related support services are given their proper consideration throughout a patient's pathway to recovery then a more therapeutic pathway could be delivered, at lower cost and delivering improved outcomes for the patient. Housing has a significant contribution to make to meeting the current NHS Quality, Innovation, Productivity and Prevention (QIPP) challenge.
