## Description

Mental Health Services in Derby City are provided in partnership with a number of other organisations in relation to the use of the Mental Health Act\. Our key partner agencies in this regard are Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, Derbyshire Police, and East Midlands Ambulance Service and Southern Derbyshire Clinical Commissioning Group The contract is expected to commence 1st November 2018 and end 31st October 2020\.
