Manchester City Council - Consultation on Mental Health Residential and Nursing Care services

By

Manchester City Council's Directorate for Adults, Health and Wellbeing is proposing to change the way it commissions Residential and Nursing Care placements for customers with mental ill-health.

A 12 week consultation process runs from 6 December 2011 and ends on 28 February 2012.

The Council is seeking the views of both existing and prospective Service Providers in relation to our future commissioning intentions and the development of a mental health specific, service specification and pricing framework.

We'll try to take a look at the consultation documents (though there are three of them) and if appropriate complete the survey. Full details of the consultation are available on the Council's website.
