The government partially accepts this recommendation. The government acknowledges the value of alliance models in embedding VCFSE organisations in the design and delivery of community mental health services. These models can strengthen collaboration, promote co-production and ensure services reflect the diverse needs of local communities. NHS England is promoting approaches that support partnership working and inclusion of VCFSE organisations within integrated care systems. This includes encouraging mechanisms that enable smaller and peer-led organisations to participate in decision-making and access funding opportunities. Future guidance will continue to emphasise the importance of co-production from the outset and the role of community assets in delivering person-centred care. The aim is to ensure that commissioning and delivery models harness the expertise and reach of VCFSE organisations to improve outcomes and equity.
