The Parliament went on to resolve to draw up an action plan for mental health, following the publication of an expected white paper on the state of mental health and mental health services in Norway. A government white paper, “Openness and Comprehensiveness: Mental Disorders and Service Provision” (Norwegian Ministry of Health and Care Services, 1997), followed, and set out significant weaknesses and gaps in the mental health system. The Escalation Plan added a large number of psychologists to the mental health workforce (see Box 4.1).
