Mental health patients forced to travel hundreds of miles for treatment despite government pledge

Mental health patients forced to travel hundreds of miles for treatment despite government pledge Some mental health patients in England are still having to travel more than 300 miles for hospital treatment two years after the government pledged to end the “completely unacceptable” practice.

The number of patients in crisis forced to move potentially hundreds of miles for NHS help is rising again after falling during the pandemic, separating them from family and support networks and potentially delaying their recuperation. The Guardian
