Mental Health Investment Compliance Statement

All CCGs must plan to achieve the Mental Health Investment Standard in 2022/23 and CCGs must  spend greater than or equal to the target spend number provided by NHS England.

As the Accountable Officer of NHS Northamptonshire Integrated Care Board, I am responsible for the  preparation of the Mental Health Investment Standard Compliance Statement (the “Statement”) for the  year ended 31 March 2023 and for the financial information that forms the basis of the calculation on which the Statement is derived. This includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation of the Statement to ensure that mental health expenditure is correctly classified and included in the calculations, and that the Statement is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

To the best of my knowledge and belief I have properly discharged my responsibilities, with regard to  reporting against the Mental Health Investment Standard.

NHS Northamptonshire ICB considers that it has complied with the requirements of the Mental Health Investment Standard for 2022/23. The 2022/23 target spend was £117,336k against actual spend of £117,587k which was an over achievement of £251k.
