The Mental Health Act requires the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to report annually to Parliament on the work in monitoring the use of the Act in England. This publication is an overview of the findings and recommendations in the report of the first year of monitoring the use of the Act, from 1 April 2009 to 31 March 2010. It is based on findings from the visits that our Mental Health Act Commissioners and SOADs have made to services during the year. The report highlights the aims of the visits to improve the standards of care and treatment for detained patients. General findings suggest that there has been a fall in the number of informal patients who have been detained under the Act when they have tried to discharge themselves from hospital. There has been a marked reduction in the number of young people admitted to adult psychiatric wards under the Mental Health Act, especially of those under 16 years of age.

Key findings from a 2010 survey of people who use community mental health services are reported. The 2010 survey comprises a sample of service users aged 16 and over who had been in contact with NHS community mental health services in the period 1 July 2009 to 30 September 2009 and who were receiving specialist help for a mental health condition. A total of 17,199 questionnaires were returned, a response rate of 32%. The survey aimed to find out about the experiences of people using mental health services in the community. These services provide care and treatment to people who have been referred to a psychiatric outpatient clinic, local community mental health team, or other community-based mental health services. The survey results are presented separately for those on Care Programme Approach (CPA) and those not on CPA. The survey questions relate to: health and social care workers; medications; talking therapies; care coordinators or lead professionals; care plans; care reviews; day to day living; and crisis care. Overall, service users rated the care they received from mental health services in the last 12 months as: excellent 29%, very good 30%, good 20%, fair 12%, poor 5% and very poor 4%.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) set out their approach to ensuring that services for people with mental ill-health reach a basic standards of quality and safety and continue to improve. Consultation with people with mental health needs, their carers, staff that work in mental health services and representatives of mental health organisations on where the CQC should focus its efforts and how people who use services should be involved in services was also used to develop the document. Main themes identified from the consultation were: rights, values and equalities; focus on specific needs, including transition between services; better services to meet needs; supporting service provision; and to develop the approach to regulating mental health services. The second part of the document sets out how the CQC will make the changes and their priorities over the next five years. The appendix provides a briefing note which sets out what is known about services for people with mental health needs and about the care that they and their families experience.

This document is the easy read version of the first report into the work of the Care Quality Commission on monitoring the use of the Mental Health Act. It covers the period from April 2009 until March 2010. It describes the findings of these visits, listing aspects that need to be improved. It considers the following: taking people into hospital and keeping them there; children or young people; safe places; general hospitals; what things are like for people who are kept in hospital under the Mental Health Act; locked wards; low secure services; involving patients and looking after their rights; Independent Mental Health Advocates; Mental Health Tribunals; people being stopped, held or kept away from others; patients agreeing to treatment; Second Doctors; electro-convulsive therapy; and supervised community treatment. It concludes that services need to get better at involving patients who are kept in hospital in their care and treatment, checking whether patients understand and can agree to treatment, and treating people as individuals and making sure rules to keep people safe do not take away everyone’s rights.
