Mental Health Investment Standard Statement of Compliance
All CCGs were required to plan to achieve the Mental Health Investment Standard in 2021/22 and CCGs were required to spend greater than or equal to the 2021/22 target spend number provided by NHS England and NHS Improvement.
As the Chief Executive Officer of NHS Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board (the successor body of NHS Norfolk and Waveney Clinical Commissioning Group), I am responsible for the preparation of the Mental Health Investment Standard Compliance Statement (the “Statement”) for the year ended 31 March 2022 and for the financial information that forms the basis of the calculation on which the Statement is derived.
This includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal controls relevant to the preparation of the Statement to ensure that mental health expenditure is correctly classified and included in the calculations, and that the Statement is free from material mis-statement, whether due to fraud or error.
To the best of my knowledge and belief I have properly discharged my responsibilities with regard to reporting against the Mental Health Investment Standard.
I consider that NHS Norfolk and Waveney CCG complied with the requirements of the Mental Health Investment Standard for 2021/22. The 2021/22 target spend was £171,042,000 and actual spend was £171,976,154.
