The ultimate objective of the All Wales Strategy - Mental Illness, is to produce a community based mental health service led by multidisciplinary community mental health teams. This paper is based upon a report commissioned by the Welsh Office Social Services Inspectorate based upon a review of progress in the implemen tation of the strategy through scrutiny of County Joint Plans and meetings with County Joint Planning Teams. In general, we found that community multidisciplinary teamwork was not well developed throughout Wales. Insufficient attention was being paid to issues of staff development and the capacity to monitor and evaluate service developments. The need for a baseline assessment of current performance by health and social services authorities seemed inescapable, if the impact of the strategy is to be reliably and validly assessed
