Parity of esteem
At 22.8%, mental ill health is the largest disease burden within the UK
This is bigger than cardiovascular disease (16.2%) or cancer (15.9%)
Yet mental health services receive only 11% of funding.
Parity of esteem
Only 26% of adults with mental illness receive appropriate care
A person with schizophrenia can expect their life expectancy to be reduced by an average of approximately 20 years.
• Care for large numbers of people with long-term physical health conditions could be improved by better integrating mental health support with primary care and chronic disease management programmes, with closer working between mental health specialists and other professionals.
• Collaborative care arrangements between primary care and mental health specialists can improve outcomes with no or limited additional net costs.
• Innovative forms of liaison psychiatry demonstrate that providing better support for co-morbid mental health needs can reduce physical health care costs in acute hospitals.
