Mental health services in England, in common with many other European countries, have been the subject of sustained government attention during the 1990s. Since the election of the Labour administration in Britain in May 1997, mental health services have been discussed in most Department of Health documents on health and social care policy, and mental health services in England have a new national strategy. At the same time, the local provision of mental health services within NHS Trusts has been undergoing organisational change. This paper sets out the policy context and evidence base for the reorganisation of provider arrangements for mental health services. In addition, the results of a documentary analysis of unpublished reviews of provider arrangements in 10 localities are presented. The review identified three major themes: firstly, the reconfiguration of NHS Trusts is based around Specialist Mental Health Trusts and Community and Mental Health Trusts; secondly, the joint provision of services and/or the integration of services between health and social services is starting to appear and; thirdly, the delegation of responsibility to localities based on Primary Care Group/Social Services boundaries is being discussed. The paper discerns a number of trends and points to the need for further research, in particular into the relationship between organisational arrangements and effective service delivery
