Mental health patients failed as ‘out of area’ placements rise again The government has been accused of failing mental health patients as the number of people being sent far from home for treatment has risen again.
Some 710 people were being cared for “out of area”, according to latest NHS England figures for last November, with 440 of those being sent at least 100km (62 miles) away from their home and family. There are 45 people being treated at least 300km (186 miles) from home. iNews
