4 VARIATIONS TO DIRECTIONS?
This section outlines if the report requires a direction to be issued to the Local
Authority, the Health Board, to both, or that no direction is required        
5 BACKGROUND/SUMMARY OF KEY ISSUES
5.1 Getting it Right for Every Person (GIRFEP), a Mental Health and Wellbeing
Strategy for Lanarkshire was launched in October 2019 to provide a shared
vision and to drive significant shifts in culture (how we see and treat mental
health and physical health), focusing on earlier intervention and prevention as
well as the redesign and reconfiguration of services and development of new
services. 
5.2 The scope of the Strategy was not just about the mental health services
delivered by the NHS, Integration Boards and Local Authorities but
understanding how we, along with our wider community planning partners and
society as a whole, contribute to the mental health and wellbeing of the
people of Lanarkshire.
5.3 The joint strategic aims, aligned with partner organisations, of Getting It Right
for Every Person, a Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy for Lanarkshire,
were to:
 Improve healthcare and wellbeing;
 Strengthen effective leadership and governance for mental health services
across all sectors;
 Reduce health inequalities and improve health and healthy life
expectancy;
 Support people to live independently at home through integrated health
and social care services;
 Provide comprehensive, integrated and responsive mental health and
social care services and supports in community based settings; and
 Support all children and young people to live as full and healthy a life as
possible and to realise their full potential.
5.4 The aspiration set out in the Strategy was that people in Lanarkshire live in a
community where everyone understands that there is no good health without
mental wellbeing, where we know how to support and improve our own and
others’ mental wellbeing and act on that knowledge, and where our mental

wellbeing contributes to a healthier, wealthier, fairer, smarter, greener and
safer Lanarkshire for all.
5.5 The delivery programme comprised of 4 main workstreams:
 Good Mental Health for All.
 Improving Access to Mental Health Support and Services.
 Children and Young People Mental Health & Wellbeing – fully integrated in
the North Lanarkshire and South Lanarkshire Children’s Services Plans.
 Specialist Mental Health Services.
The Strategy also had in place a number of cross cutting interdependent
workstreams. These included Communication and Engagement, Workforce
and Finance.
5.6 The Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy Board and the majority of project
groups were stood down in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Whilst Strategy delivery was restarted in January 2021, there was a further
disruption over the summer of 2021 when all non-essential meetings were
stood down owing to the pressure on services.
5.7 Over the course of 2022, we were able to look forward, endeavouring to take
advantage of the opportunities and experiences of working in different ways.
All workstreams reviewed their delivery plans to ensure that they took account
of the impact of Covid-19; build on our recovery plans and the new ways of
working that have developed over the course of the pandemic, whilst retaining
a focus on the vision and objectives set out in the original Lanarkshire Mental
Health and Wellbeing Strategy. 
5.8 This report outlines the progress made across all Strategy workstreams and
sets out our progress in developing a Mental Health and Wellbeing Delivery
Plan for Lanarkshire aligned to Scotland’s Mental Health and Wellbeing, the
new national Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy launched in 2023 by
COSLA and the Scottish Government. 
6 ACHIEVEMENTS
Good Mental Health for All
6.1 Challenging the stigma around mental health, promoting good mental health
and addressing the barriers (social, environmental, financial or cultural) that
make it more difficult for some people to take up opportunities to improve their
wellbeing, are a priority across Lanarkshire.
6.2 The Covid 19 Pandemic was stressful for many and threw a spotlight on the
relationship between mental and physical health. The impact was not
experienced equitably. Those least able to draw on protective factors (good
health; financial wellbeing; affordable housing; employment; being able to
work from home; support home schooling) were less equipped to deal with the
impact. It exacerbated long-standing inequalities in being able to thrive in the
face of adversity.

Page 4

4 
6.3 The longer-term impact of the pandemic is likely to widen these inequalities
further unless significant action is taken. This has taken on a new urgency
with the emerging cost of living crisis, compounding the threat and further
widening the gap.
6.4 Our approach to promoting good mental health and wellbeing and the
collective actions/programmes of work undertaken by all community planning
partners is distilled in our Good Mental Health for All North and South
Lanarkshire Delivery Plans. 
6.5 The Good Mental Health for All Delivery Plans cover 6 key areas: Mentally
Healthy Infants, Children and Young People; Mentally Healthy Later Life;
Mentally Health Environments and Communities; Mentally Healthy
Employment; Reducing the Prevalence of Suicide, Self-Harm, Distress and
Common Mental Health Problems.
6.6 Key highlights include:
 Promoting a confident, diverse and skilled workforce through delivering
training and building capacity for delivering training in-line with the NHS
Education Scotland Framework for Mental Health Improvement and
Suicide Prevention
 Promoting a compassionate response to people presenting in distress by
embedding Distress Brief Interventions into mainstream services and
supports 
 Delivering a programme of work to tackle mental health stigma and
discrimination where it exists and ensure people can talk about their
mental health and wellbeing and access the person-centred support they
require
 Driving a programme of work in line with the new national suicide
prevention plan, Creating Hope Together
 Improving access to a range of non-clinical supports to improve mental
health and wellbeing via Well Connected and other social prescribing
programmes and the Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund
 Delivering an annual Recovery Event for Lanarkshire enabling people with
lived experience to share stories of recovery and explore what recovery
means to them
 Exploring robust Health and Equality Impact Assessments by means of
strengthening active consideration of mental health and wellbeing to
support a ‘mental health in all policies’ approach.
Improving Access to Mental Health Supports and Services (IAMHSS)
6.7 IAMHSS has been concentrating on specific areas to ensure the right support
is available at the right time within Primary Care, Emergency Departments,
Custody Suites and Prisoner Healthcare and through the development of
digital solutions. This workstream has also been responsible for developing
and implementing proposals for the use of funding for mental health posts
made available through Action 15 of the Scottish Government’s Mental Health
Strategy, 2017.

6.8 Primary Care Mental Health & Wellbeing Teams:
 PCMHW model developed with Mental Health Liaison Nurses now covering
91 GP practices supported by LAMH Mental Health and Wellbeing Workers
providing a non-clinical role. 
 Assessment Plus CBT based guided self-help intervention. now providing
guided self-help intervention in 3 localities.
 A Task and Finish Group has now been established to:
- review current Primary Care Mental Health (PCMH) service model to
learn from our experience to date and ensure we make the most effective
and efficient use of resources to provide a central point of referral for self
& practitioner referrals of people experiencing mild to moderate mental
health problems and divert patients from GP practice;
- enhance and develop standard internal referral processes between the
PCMH service, Primary Care Occupational Therapy (PCOT) and
Community Link Worker (CLW) programmes, CMHTs, Mental Health
Flow Navigation Centre & Community Addiction Services.
6.9 Transforming Mental Health in Emergency Departments (ED)
 Flow Navigation Centre (FNC) fully established in-hours providing an
alternative to ED triage for a mental health assessment. 
 Direct links with Psychiatric Liaison Nurse Service for Community Police
Triage and Scottish Ambulance Service triage fully established in hours via
FNC and Out-of-Hours at Douglas Street. Expanded in November 2021 to
include British Transport Police.
 Out-of-Hours service expanded and fully embedded. Patients triaged and
assessed via telephone, virtual platform, or face-to-face. 
 Mental Health Advanced Nurse Practitioners now form part of unscheduled
care and liaison services and have developed good links with primary care
services to support overall senior decision making.
 Overall reduction of 68% in police attendance at ED.
6.10 Custody Suites:
 We set out to develop a range of new ways of working within Custody Suites
to deliver a person centred, safe and clinically effective healthcare for
people detained in Police custody across the 4 Lanarkshire Custody Suites
and develop a new Mental Health and Wellbeing Team staffing model,
aligned to the Unscheduled Care Team, the Primary Care Team, and the
Community Mental Health Teams who will continue to provide care for the
most unwell people who need specialist input.
 Two Advanced Nurse Practitioners have been recruited through Action 15
funding in place and are providing a valuable mental health assessment
resource to support people who present with mental health needs when
detained for any period of time. Feedback has been positive.

6.11 Prisoner Mental Health:
 Mental health Multi-Disciplinary Team staffing model for Shotts Prison
developed to ensure the level of care for prisoners reflects the services
offered to the rest of the population.
 Prisoner population of HMP Shotts now has improved access to a wider
range of mental health services – in particular psychological therapies and
health improvement – through a match-stepped model of care.
6.12 Digital Solutions:
 Digital solutions explored to help provide services in new ways that make
them more accessible and enhance patients’ experience.
 Near Me well-used with CAMHS, Psychology, and Psychiatry the top 3
users of the system.
 MORSE transition completed for all previous Midis users. Work remains
underway for migration of remaining services.
 Successful collaboration with Connecting Scotland to provide devices and
support to service users.
 Digital champions identified
Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services 
6.13 In 2021, the Scottish Government Children and Young Peoples Mental Health
and Wellbeing Taskforce published national specifications for Child and
Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) and Neurodevelopmental
Services. Both specifications aim to ensure that children and families receive
the supports and access to services that meet their needs at the earliest
opportunity, based on the GIRFEC approach. For many children and young
people, such support is likely to be community based, and should be quickly
and easily accessible. These services are required to be available for all
children and young people who are aged 0-18 years, and young adults aged
18-24 (and up to age 26 for care experienced people).
6.14 A significant change to the CAMHS model was required to meet the national
service specification. Plans were submitted to the Scottish Government
outlining how it would be implemented. This specification focusses CAMHS
on the needs of children and families affected by the more complex mental
health problems, moving early intervention support to the Schools Counselling
Model, Schools Nursing and the Community Wellbeing Framework.
6.15 In January 2021, the Specialist Children’s Health Services Unit (SCHSU) was
formed bringing a centralised approach to the operational delivery of
children’s specialist health services across Lanarkshire. In April 2021, Health
and Social Care North Lanarkshire received confirmation from Scottish
Government of recurring funding via the Recovery and Renewal Fund (RFF)
specific to CAMHS of £3.3 million.
6.16 Major achievements include:
 Choices and Partnership Approach (CAPA) embedded into CAMHS

Page 7

7 
 Recruiting and retaining staff who can provide the level of expertise required
to enable us to deliver the national CAMHS specification fully by March
2026.
 Putting in place an electronic documentation system that will ensure children
and young people who use CAMHS are visible across the system.
 New South Lanarkshire CAMHS facility within Udston Hospital, supporting
CAMHS, the Eating Disorders team and the Neurodevelopmental Service
opened to patients on 5th September 2022 and now fully operational. 
 Refurbishment of Airbles Road and Coathill CAMHS outpatient and staff
base planned to bring North Lanarkshire estate to same standard.
 Neurodevelopmental Service (NDS) Steering Group established to oversee
development of the service and implement the NDS service specification for
children and young people by March 2026.
Children and Young People’s Community Mental Health and Wellbeing
Support and Services
6.17 Delivering improvements for children and young people’s mental health and
wellbeing is embedded in the North and South Lanarkshire Children’s
Services Plans and associated workstreams, led by the children’s services
partnership boards. Robust progress has been made in offering a range of
programmes of work with a focus on prevention/early intervention and
promoting positive mental health and resilience. All practice is underpinned by
The Promise, GIRFEC and UNCRC approaches.
6.18 Funding from the National Children and Young People’s Mental Health and
Wellbeing Programme is being provided for the delivery of community mental
health and wellbeing supports and services for children and young people.
This is to support the development and provision of bespoke services that are
right for each local authority and direct support for children and young people.
The Scottish Government is clear that funding is to be used for new or
enhanced services. Project officers have been recruited by both local
authorities and gap analysis, benchmarking and co-production of services has
been undertaken.
6.19 A range of services have been developed at universal and additional levels
which complement and value to other service preventative services which
address the children’s and young people’s wellbeing, examples include:
6.20 Key achievements include:
 Living Life to the Full – provided by NLC Community Learning &
Development
 Family support for children impacted by neurodevelopmental difficulties –
provided by Carers Together
 LIAM (Let’s Introduce Anxiety Management) – Educational Psychology
 Mentoring through sport – Active and Creative Communities
 Support and services commissioned by through Empowering Clusters,
through the community solutions approach, based on local need

Education and Families
 Implementation of a digital mental health and wellbeing platform, Kooth,
which has now launched and is available for children and young people
aged 10-18 years (up to 26 for care experienced young people).
 Launch of a public facing Children and Young People’s Mental Health
Directory of Services and Resources in Lanarkshire. Following on from a
successful collation and distribution of the Directory in an excel sheet
format, we have taken on board the feedback we received and the Directory
is now available to all on NHS Lanarkshire’s public facing website.  Content
and layout has been guided by children and young people as well as input
for the design.
Specialist Mental Health Services
6.21 Key achievements include:
 Dedicated specialised Community Perinatal Mental Health Team
established, incorporating psychiatry, community mental health nurse,
clinical psychology, community nursery nurse, midwifery, occupational
therapy and social work staffing.

staff transferred from the previous hosted arrangements with North
Lanarkshire to enable integration of Community Mental Health services
within South Lanarkshire HSCP.
 Scottish Government funding for Dementia Post Diagnostic Support (PDS)
Services utilised to create a single dedicated PDS service that focuses on
those individuals not requiring secondary care input of an Older Adult
CMHT.
 Adult Autism Assessment Service established as Phase 1 of a wider Adult
Neurodevelopmental Pathway.

7 MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING DELIVERY PLAN
Scotland’s Mental Health and Wellbeing
7.1 The new national Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy recognises mental
health as a cross-government priority, building on the partnership between the
Scottish and Local Governments. 
7.2 It recognises that underlying factors, inequalities and types of disadvantage
affect certain groups of people who may suffer disproportionate impacts on
their mental health.
7.3 We know that mental health does not just mean mental illness; it is a
continuum that may include a range of needs, from having the right words to
describe how we feel, through to everyday worries and feelings of distress or
hopelessness. We must ensure that the right help is always available to those
who experience severe and enduring mental health conditions and provide
the wider support people may need to maintain good mental health.
7.4 In publishing the Strategy in 2023, the Scottish Government and COSLA
acknowledge that all areas of Government will need to work together to
achieve our shared vision and to make progress towards our outcomes, which
are outlined below. The Strategy sets out a vision of a Scotland, free from
stigma and inequality, where everyone fulfils their right to achieve the best
mental health and wellbeing possible.
7.5 The Strategy describes a whole system model which very much aligns with
the Lanarkshire Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy 
7.6 The Strategy sets out the following outcomes:
 Improved overall mental wellbeing and reduced inequalities.
 Improved quality of life for people with mental health conditions, free
from stigma and discrimination

Page 10

10 
 Improved knowledge and understanding of mental health and
wellbeing and how to access appropriate support
 Better equipped communities to support people’s mental health and
wellbeing and provide opportunities to connect with others
 More effective cross-policy action to address the wide-ranging
factors that impact people’s mental health and wellbeing.
 Increased availability of timely, effective support, care and treatment
that promote and support people’s mental health and wellbeing,
meeting individual needs.
 Better informed policy, support, care and treatment, shaped by
people with lived experience and the workforce, with a focus on
quality and recovery.
 Better access to and use of evidence and data in policy and practice.
 A diverse, skilled, supported and sustainable workforce across all
sectors
7.7 It also identifies ten priorities which provide the structure for the first national
Delivery Plan for 2023-25:
1. Increased availability of timely, effective support, care and treatment
that promote and support people’s mental health and wellbeing,
meeting individual needs.
2. Better informed policy, support, care and treatment, shaped by
people with lived experience and the workforce, with a focus on
quality and recovery.
3. Better access to and use of evidence and data in policy and practice.
4. A diverse, skilled, supported and sustainable workforce across all
sectors
5. Work across Scottish and Local Government and with partners to
develop a collective approach to understanding and shared
responsibility for promoting good mental health and addressing the
causes of mental health inequalities, supporting groups who are
particularly at risk
6. Improve mental health and wellbeing support in a wide range of
settings with reduced waiting times and improved outcomes for
people accessing all services, including Child and Adolescent Mental
Health Services (CAMHS) and psychological therapies
7. Ensure people receive the quality of care and treatment required for
the time required, supporting care as close to home as possible and
promoting independence and recovery

Lanarkshire Mental Health and Wellbeing Delivery Plan
7.8 Given the close alignment between the 2019-2024 Lanarkshire and 2023
national strategies, the Integration Joint Board agreed at its Liaison Session
on 8th November 2023, that, rather than produce a new Lanarkshire Strategy,
partners should work together to develop a Lanarkshire Delivery Plan, aligned
to the strategic actions set out in the national Delivery Plan, and clearly linking
to local strategies and plans including both Health and Social Care
Partnership Strategic Commissioning Plans, Our Health Together, Children’s
Services Plans, the Plan for North Lanarkshire Community Plans and Local
Outcome Improvement Plans.
7.9 Since then, work is continuing to:
 Assemble a final report on the work carried out over the 2019-2024 Mental
Health and Wellbeing Strategy for sharing and publication
 Establish a programme sustainability plan- to identify any outstanding
priorities and actions from 2019-2024 strategy to be carried forward into
the new Lanarkshire Delivery Plan
 Undertake a self-assessment of where we are in Lanarkshire in relation to
the strategic actions set out in the National Mental Health and Wellbeing
Delivery Plan 
 Consider contributions from stakeholders regarding existing and new
priorities and actions (period of engagement and development)
 Engage with stakeholders both at Lanarkshire-wide and locality level, via
the Community Boards in North Lanarkshire and with an equivalent
engagement process in South Lanarkshire, to identify any further priorities
and actions for the Lanarkshire Delivery Plan
 Agree future governance and leadership arrangements
 Prepare the final draft Lanarkshire MHW Delivery Plan for approval by the
Integration Joint Board, subject to the endorsement of South Lanarkshire
IJB, Community Planning Partnerships, North and South Lanarkshire
Councils and the Lanarkshire NHS Board.
 Stand down current MHW Strategy Board, Executive group and
associated workstreams and close 2019-2024 programme of work
 Establish governance structures and implementation process (embed in
operational governance and supported by in-house enablers)

Page 12

12 
7.10 The timeline to complete this process is set out in Appendix 1, the intention
being to present a draft Delivery Plan to the Integration Joint Board in
September 2024.
