I am currently circulating a manifesto for mental health, which includes the following:
A new legal framework for detaining mentally ill people.
A new legal framework for medicating patients against their will.
Adding into legislation a requirement for the NHS and other health providers to provide a full range of talking therapies at an early stage of treatment, as a part of the minimum standards of care.
Adding into legislation a requirement for hospitals to offer and supply access to inpatient care as and when needed by acutely ill patients.
A requirement for hospitals to provide inpatient wards which are a place of safety and respite WITHOUT BEING HASSLED BY STAFF to increase, adjust or add to medication and without the use of 'verbal sections', i.e. threatened with detention.
...and other stuff as well...
