Community mental health survey
The Care Quality Commission’s (CQC) annual community mental health survey 2025 found although experiences of mental health care are improving, many are still facing barriers to appropriate care. 12,319 people aged 16 and over were asked about their experiences of community mental health care. While the NHS is hoping to move more care into the community, the survey highlights how community mental health care is struggling to meet the needs of everyone currently accessing it.
