The Council's Joint Officer Health Improvement Group has led the development of the Council’s response to With Inclusion in Mind. This states the Scottish Government’s proposals for the role of the local authority in promoting good mental health. Independent consultants have been commissioned to engage with service users on their views of the Council and this work has informed further discussions with Council and arms-length services. It is intended that this will lead to an improvement agenda being developed with services towards the end of 2009.
