Mental Health Support Teams - Mid and South Essex CCGs are developing a multi-year trajectory and a regional plan for the future MHST Waves (Waves 5 to 10) from 2021/22 to 2023/24 in accordance with NHS Englands 'Transforming Children and Young People's Mental Health Provision Green Paper'. the Mental Health Support Teams are services which are designed to support the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people in and around schools and colleges. This is an existing service delivered by North East London NHS Foundation Trust (NELFT), but may be included within the main CAMHS Contract when this arrangement ends. It may also be that this service covers all 7 Essex CCGs as well as the Mid and South Essex CCGs. NHS LTP - It is also recognised that the NHS LTP made a renewed commitment that mental health services will grow faster than the overall NHS budget, creating a new national ringfenced investment fund worth overall at least PS2.3bn a year by 2023/24. This is to enable further service expansion and faster access to community crisis and mental health services for both adults and children and young people amongst growing visibility and concern about areas of longstanding unmet health need, such as in young people's mental health services. This means that during the life of the contract, the budget is likely to grow and the scope of the services being delivered will increase.
