This report provides details of the level of investment in adult mental health services in England for 2004/05 and compares it with the results reported in the three previous years.

The analysis in this report is derived from the detailed finance mapping exercise co-ordinated by Local Implementation Teams (LITs) as part of the regular adult mental health review process undertaken each autumn.

The main adult mental health analysis provides the following overall key findings:

total planned reported investment in adult mental health services in 2004/05 was £4.47 billion or £140 per head of weighted working age population. This increases to £4.52 billion once allowance is made for unreported investment, and
a continued increase in reported planned investment in adult mental health. The identified planned cash increase in resources reported was £360 million between 2001/02 and 2002/03, £421 million between 2002/03 and 2003/04, and £564 million between 2003/04 and 2004/05.
