More Progress Still To Be Made On Mental Health

Commenting on the final biennial report from the Mental Health Act Commission released by the Care Quality Commission, Mental Health Network director Steve Shrubb said: "While the Commission rightly acknowledges that often very vulnerable people are looked after effectively and with care, we know there is more to do to make this the norm across all services. "The commission is also right to highlight the high number of community treatment orders and we agree that we need a more detailed understanding of how they are being used. "The Mental Health Network has been calling for some time for the mandatory training and accreditation scheme for all staff who may be engaged in restraint practices to be set up as soon as possible. "We are also working with the department of health among others to develop an acute pathway declaration which will set out the kind of support people can expect along with a national plan to implement it." Notes The Mental Health Network represents the majority of mental health trusts. It was launched in spring 2007 to provide a distinct voice for providers of NHS mental health services.
