A REVIEW is taking place to clarify which part of government is the best organisational location for the mental health service.

The service has been part of the Department of Social Care ever since the restructuring of government in April 2010.

Prior to that it was part of the former Department of Health and Social Security.

The Chief Secretary’s Office on behalf of the Council of Ministers is conducting the review.

There has been a continuing discussion among interested parties about whether the mental health service would be better placed to serve its users if it was part of the Department of Health.

The review team would welcome the views of mental health service users and their carers regarding how the organisational structure could best meet patients' needs.

Views should be submitted to MHSReview@gov.im or Organisational Location Review of the Mental Health Service, Chief Secretary's Office, Central Government Office, Bucks Road, Douglas by Monday, February 27.
