As a direct result of the publication on Personality Disorder, No Longer A Diagnosis Of Exclusion, the NIMHE Mental Health initiative has supported activities to ensure mainstreaming and implementation of its recommendations. These activities include work undertaken by the LDC team setting up networks to ensure that the right information is shared with the right organizations and individuals..
