Government’s mental health review will not prevent ‘appalling’ abuse of patients, campaigners warn

Government’s mental health review will not prevent ‘appalling’ abuse of patients, campaigners warn A government review into mental health hospitals will fail to prevent the “appalling” treatment of patients, campaigners have warned.

The urgent inquiry into inpatient mental health services will focus solely on data, the government said on Tuesday.

The “rapid review”, launched following investigations by The Independent into “systemic abuse” across a group of children’s mental health hospitals, will last 12 weeks and is being led by a former national NHS mental health director Dr Geraldine Strathdee.
