Abstract

When Simon Stevens took up his role as CEO of NHS England, an executive, non-departmental body established in 2012, he announced the NHS five year forward view with seven models of care (Kings Fund, 2015). In response, Laurence Moulin posted the following comment:

Unless we redesign structure and services from the ‘bottom up’, starting with what will be offered for people receiving services, and ensure that the ‘offer’ is a single physical/mental health service, we may find at the end of the five year plan we have only succeeded in moving the deckchairs into a different pattern. (Laurence Moulin Consulting in Mental Health and Learning Disability, 2015)
