Mental health: meeting needs with case management.

Present structures encourage a service-led provision of care. The purchaser-provider split does have the advantage of targeting those most in need and of promoting an individualised service led by client needs. For those with a long-term mental illness, however, a rigid split does not allow multiple needs to be met comprehensively, nor does it allow the work of engaging clients with appropriate services to be based on direct care. Case management is suggested as a flexible means of overcoming these problems.

Meeting mental health needs of ethnic minority groups.

The TULIP Outreach Service uses a team approach model to provide community support to people with long-term mental health problems. It was primarily set up to reach people falling through the net of mainstream services, that is, homeless or potentially homeless people and those from minority ethnic groups. This paper describes how the team approach works in practice. It also gives the preliminary results of an evaluation showing the team's success in targeting and supporting these clients.
