In 2005-08, 10 percent would be spent on education and training of mental health professionals; 10 percent on capital facilities and technology needs; 20 percent on prevention and early intervention programs; and 5 percent on innovative programs to increase access to and quality of mental health services. In addition, up to 5 percent could be used to offset state implementation costs and up to 5 percent could be used each year for county planning and administration. The remaining funds would be spent on mental health services for persons with severe mental illness, unless the county successfully meets requirements to use some of these funds for prevention and early intervention progr
