A review of 26 mental health homicides in London committed between January 2002 and December 2006 – A report for NHS London (13th March 2008)
As part of the process of establishing the new SHA, NHS London carried out an audit of the status of investigations into homicides committed between 2002-2006 by patients receiving mental health care. The audit identified 26 homicides committed between January 2002 and December 2006 by individuals known to mental health services where the perpetrator had been convicted of the offence but where no independent investigation had been commissioned. NHS London moved swiftly to set up an independent review. The purpose of this review is to build on the internal investigations already completed by mental health trusts by identifying common themes and issues. NHS London will use this information to improve the quality and consistency of mental health services across London.

Making Recovery a Reality (17th March 2008)
This paper says mental health services need to change radically to focus on recovery. They need to demonstrate success in helping service users to get their lives back and giving service users the chance to make their own decisions about how they live their lives.
