CCG priorities

working together, both will achieve a more consistent

investing in

duplication of mental health services.

preventative services.

IAPT access

KCC will use the Grant to provide the Services, leading to a

more effective use of resources and more equitable access

for people with mental health needs. The section 256 will

provide funding for the Local Authority to procure voluntary

sector providers to provide the Services for people with

mental health needs. This agreement is in the process of

formal sign off by both parties. Annex 2 provides an update

on the first six months and sets out the expectations of the

Section 256.
