Care Quality Commission publishes community mental health survey results

The Care Quality Commission's mental health survey aimed to find out about the experiences of people receiving community mental health services.

The survey took the views of more than 17,000 people who received specialist care or treatment for a mental health condition, including those who received care co-ordinated under the Care Programme Approach (CPA), between July and September of last year.

These patients had been referred to a psychiatric outpatient clinic, local community mental health team or other community-based service. The survey covered 66 NHS trusts.
