[Sorry to send this to the whole list, but we do not have the email
address of Ileana Thomson, who made the enquiry on lis-medical the other
day]
The only item on the King's Fund library database which specifically
covers clinical governance and outreach in the mental health setting is
below. We do hold other items about clinical governance and
*librarians'* outreach services, but I am assuming this is not what you
are after?

Subject: Clinical governance in relation to outreach services/car
Hello everybody,
I know it's a bit early in the morning but, being on my own and
relatively inexperienced in the NHS, I wonder if anyone could advise me
on whether there has is anything written on the above subject. I know
there are clinical governance publications on the DOH website but I am
not sure there is anything specific on outreach service or care.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks
