TL;DR

It is argued that GP fundholding and care management contain challenges to the CMHC/T model that may undermine the preeminence of the model in community mental health services.

Abstract

CMHC/Ts have become a commonplace component of mental health service design in the UK. After a short resume of the background to the creation of CMHCs and their record to date, the paper argues that GP fundholding and care management contain challenges to the CMHC/T model that may undermine the preeminence of the model in community mental health services.
