Saffron Cordery's five ways to transform mental health provision in 2015. She calls for:

1) A mainstream approach, stressing the importance of tackling mental health 'in every arena, setting and interaction'
2) Greater investment. That's NEW money, not reallocation
3) A payment system fit for purpose. No more block contracts, it's time for multi-year forward planning
4) Using access targets to improve quality, i.e. how they should be used
5) Achieving structural parity. No more postcode lottery of availability and sustainability.

After all the political rhetoric of 2014, it's time to discover whether it was more than just hot air.
