Abstract: |
Mind commissioned an independent panel to carry out an inquiry into acute and crisis mental health care. It ran a call for evidence, held hearings and visited a range of services. It asked: what do people in mental health crisis need; what is good about existing acute and crisis services – what would you like to protect or have more of; what are the problems in acute and crisis care; if services in your area are being reorganised, what impact is this having on acute and crisis care (if you know); and what changes in acute and crisis care do you want this campaign to achieve? This report found that while excellent crisis care does exist, there are problems with inpatient hospitals and community crisis teams including people struggling to get help, staffing problems, poor quality care environments and not enough treatment provided to help people recover. It also sets out a series of recommendations on how crisis care should be improved to give the best possible treatment to some of the most vulnerable people in NHS care. |
