Mental Health Situation in Camden, London |
E-mail: | Unit: | |
Answer: According to the 2006 mid-year estimate, 227,500 people live in the borough of Camden. The population is comparatively young, and is culturally and ethnically diverse. The 2001 Census indicates that 40% of the population is from black and minority ethnic (BME) groups. Camden is home to some of the wealthiest and healthiest areas in the country, but alongside these are areas of deprivation where health outcomes are poor. | Hampstead Heath, London, in May | |

High mental health needs | ||||||
Camden also has high mental health needs. It is estimated that 37,000 adults in Camden
suffer from common mental health problems at any one time. A further 4,000 adults receive
secondary mental health services and are supported within the CPA process. Camden’s suicide rate is nearly double the London average, and its admission rate for severe mental health problems is just over twice the average for England as a whole. Co-morbidity of mental health and substance misuse also presents complex challenges. Camden Together, the Borough’s Community Strategy, aims to make Camden a borough of opportunity for everyone by 2012. One of its objectives is to have “a connected Camden community where people lead active, healthy lives.” The strategic direction for mental health, which is informed by the Community Strategy, recognises that services must be configured to deliver more appropriate interventions. |
Because of Camden’s high needs, and in order to achieve the vision of Camden Together, Camden Council and Camden PCT invest substantially in services for people with mental health needs. In 2007/08, Camden spent £65.1m on adult mental health services. Of this, £7.5m was spent on residential and nursing care, £3.3m on supported housing and £1.3m on STR floating support services. See appendix 1 for details of residential, nursing, supported housing and STR floating support places. |
