Abstract
to a practical ambitious for the development of English mental health services the twenty first century. Its structure encourages clarity of purpose, specificity of interventions, and accuracy in measuring outcomes of treatment, and this we applaud. We do not, however, agree that "it is unrealistic to set health outcome targets for these services." Indeed, it is through setting targets that we may now promote the central place of mental health in a healthy nation.
