5.4 Mental health investments and divestments • According to a 2013 survey published by the Department of Health, the total investment in adult mental health services for 2011–12 was £6.629 billion, while this was a 1.2% in cash increase compared to 2010–11, it was a real-terms decrease (taking inflation into account) of 1% 582 from £2.859 billion in 2010–11 to £2.830 billion in 2011–12. 583 • According to the same report, priority was given to three areas (i.e. crisis resolution, early intervention and assertive outreach) and, overall, investment fell by £29.3 million. Only early intervention reported an increase. 584 However, investment in psychological therapies, in real terms, increased by 6% in 2010– 11. 585 • In 2015, Community Care reported that the funding across mental health NHS trusts dropped by 8.25% (or £600 million), in real terms, between 2010–11 and 2014–15. 586 In addition, according to a BBC Freedom of Information request published in 2016, the funding for mental health in the UK has fallen by only 2% from 2013–14 to 2014– 15. 587 • For 2015, mental health spending in Scotland has increased by just 0.1% and is projected to fall by 0.4% in 2016. In contrast, spending in Wales decreased by 1.1% in 2014–15 and is expected to rise by 1.2% in 2015– 16. 588 • According to the BBC Freedom of Information request, Northern Ireland was the only country that saw an increase in spending on mental health by 1% in 2015, and by 2.6% in 2016. 589 Conclusions The financial gap in mental health expenditure is one of the biggest concerns of health professionals and researchers. The number of individuals with mental ill health is expected to rise significantly in the near future. 590 Given the relationship between mental and physical health, urgent action is needed to overcome barriers to treatment and prevention. Much can be done to avoid the impact of mental health problems and to promote wellbeing; therefore, raising awareness of mental health costs and potential savings through prevention and early intervention is vital. 88
