Mental Health Commission Annual Report 2024 : including the report of the Inspector of Mental Health Services and the report of the Director of the Decision Support Service

Abstract

During 2024 - the second year of our strategic plan, Supporting Change 2023-2027 - the MHC further embedded its core objectives and values across every aspect of our work. This strategy has provided a clear and principled framework to guide the MHC through a period of significant legislative reform, service transformation, and rising public expectation. The MHC continued preparations for the broadening of our statutory responsibilities, as we await the implementation of the reformed Mental Health Act. The MHC has responded to this challenge with purpose and professionalism, delivering on its functions to match the demands of a modern, rights-based landscape.
