The government partially accepts this recommendation. The government recognises that improving physical health outcomes for people with SMI is essential to reducing health inequalities and preventable deaths. Annual physical health checks have driven significant progress and remain an important mechanism for monitoring co-morbidities and supporting early intervention. The completion of vital physical health checks features in the 2025 to 2026 NHS oversight framework. This provides accountability against the national target of at least 60% of people with SMI having an annual health check. In addition to this, the government is considering how the forthcoming MSF may provide opportunities for improving the physical health outcomes of people with SMI.
