assessments for patients with mental health conditions, irrespective of whether patients are<br />

then referred for primary or secondary mental health interventions. Currently, there is one<br />

assessment role in primary care, and it only assesses patients for entry to brief intervention<br />

counselling provided by the primary mental health team.<br />

This devolution will reduce the separateness of (and associated stigma that typically goes with<br />

referral to) secondary mental health services, prevent patients falling through the 'gap'<br />

between primary and secondary mental health services, and further strengthen the provision of<br />

mental health services in primary care settings.<br />

After year two, provided developmental milestones are achieved, it is anticipated that mental<br />

health services will be fully devolved to the PHO/community provider, to enable further<br />

integration of service delivery.<br />

5.4.5 Future management of long term conditions<br />

The WCPHO and DHB have invested significantly in development of a best practice framework<br />

for management of long term conditions (LTCs). The developments to date, and future targets<br />

are detailed in „Appendix 5 Long Term conditions‟. The framework is summarized in the<br />

schematic below.<br />
