RE: Local Implementation Team (LIT) Results of Financial Mapping In Mental Health
I am currently conducting a piece of research into Mental Health Investment in the UK. In these turbulent times the importance of ensuring funding remains strong for people with a mental health condition is of paramount importance.
I have been directed to the Local Implementation Team (LIT) Investment in Mental Health reports by colleagues and the Department of Health as a key source to use in analysing the investment of Mental Health services in the UK.
To assist with my research I would like to enquire as to whether you can provide me with a copy of each of the individual LIT reports in your Strategic Health Authority for 2009/2010?
Our Response
I refer to your email requesting information in respect of Local Implementation Team (LIT) results of financial mapping in mental health.
I can confirm in accordance with S.1 (1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) that we do not hold the information that you have requested. You might be able to obtain access to individual Primary Care Trust (PCT) LIT reports by contacting the PCTs themselves. You can do this by following the link below to our website:

The Department of Health recently published the National Survey of Investment in MH Services for Working Age Adults 2009/10 which may be of some use to you. The link for this publication is below:
