Here is a dose of Friday evening/night reality... *Just stop for a minute & consider what this actually means in practice. Even if there r beds somewhere in the country in either the NHS or P4PP. They are not readily accessible... This means people will wait. But think what >

Is this is where we r all heading…? It really shouldn’t take the threat of police investigation & court action etc to bring about the required change. But maybe that is what is required. “Calls for police to investigate mental health deaths…”

“Sending patients out of area for inpatient mental health care is both worse for health outcomes and costly for the NHS. Ease of access for family and friends is an important part of a patient’s recovery, and, especially for someone experiencing mental distress…”

Not enough staff✔️ Not enough funding✔️ Overly reliant on P4PP & beds miles away from home ✔️ “The high number of inappropriate out of area mental health placements is one indicator of this problem.”
