Annual Report and Financial Accounts
An annual report is a comprehensive document of an organisation’s activities and financial accounts for the preceding year.
As an ICB, each year we produced an annual report which described our activities during each financial year. It reports on our achievements and challenges, our commissioning intentions and plans for the future, the goals and priorities we have set for the coming year and how well we have met the priorities set for the previous year. We report on our governance processes, assurance and accountability mechanisms.
Our Annual Report and Financial Accounts are published in June every year.

Our Mental Health Investment Standard
To support the ambitions within the NHS Long Term Plan, we are committed to ensuring that essential investment in mental health services continues to grow at a faster rate than the overall NHS budget we receive. The Mental Health Investment Standard builds on progress made over the last few years as set out in 2016 in NHS England’s Five year forward view – the ‘blueprint’ for improving mental health services – informed by the views of thousands of patients, their families and medical professionals.
Our Mental Health Investment Standard has been reviewed by an independent auditor and shows that we have fully met our obligations of continued investment in mental health services, at a faster rate than our overall published programme funding.
We are committed to the development and provision of high quality mental health services that meet the changing needs of our population in Somerset and we are continuing to work closely with our local healthcare providers to expand and develop new services.
Following a successful audit, the full Mental Health Investment Standard audit findings report is now available:
