All ICBs were required to plan to achieve the Mental Health Investment Standard in 2022/23 when taking into account spend by their predecessor CCGs in Q1, and ICBs were required to spend greater than or equal to the 2022/23 target spend number provided by NHS England.

As the Accountable Officer of NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board, I am responsible for the preparation of the Mental Health Investment Standard Compliance Statement (the “Statement”) for the year ended 31 March 2023 and for the financial information that forms the basis of the calculation on which the Statement is derived. This includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal controls relevant to the preparation of the Statement to ensure that mental health expenditure is correctly classified and included in the calculations, and that the Statement is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

To the best of my knowledge and belief I have properly discharged my responsibilities with regard to reporting against the Mental Health Investment Standard.

I consider that NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire ICB complied with the requirements of the Mental Health Investment Standard for 2022/23, incorporating spend by its predecessor CCGs in Quarter 1 of that year. The 2022/23 target spend was £190,665k and actual spend was £191,070k.
