Description

The Taskforce on Mental Health Service Plan (the ‘Taskforce’) was established in 2009 to
formulate this Hospital Authority Mental Health Service Plan (‘the Plan’).

The terms of references of the Taskforce are:
• To review current and anticipated service need for mental health services in the Hospital
Authority (HA).
• To identify strategies and priority services to address major anticipated gaps over the next
five years.
• To advise on the future service model(s) to enhance the quality and outcome of mental health
services.

Through an extensive consultation process, the Taskforce has recommended that HA embraces
a new vision of mental health services for adults. The current service manages mental illness
with a system weighted to institutional care
