Leadership Board - Fifth meeting: MHWB Strategy and Delivery Plan Progress Report

Risk & Issue Summary

• There are concerns that financial pressures and budget decisions continue to impact on service delivery, delivery partner capacity and Scottish Government (SG) internal prioritisation.
• There are concerns around the impact of Local Government budgets locally and potential of impact on service delivery across scope of Local Government, including in terms of social determinants and the impact that will have on demand.
• There are ongoing capacity concerns across all delivery partners, the mental health workforce and within Scottish Government mental health teams.
• Some actions marked as ‘off track’ due to no lead being assigned following directorate restructuring. This has been raised with the SG Senior Leadership Team to assign leads ahead of the next reporting cycle.
• Increased demand around neurodevelopmental and Learning Disability, Autism and Neurodiversity (LDAN) policy work has caused delays in progressing some LDAN focused actions.
