Unit where police take people detained under the Mental Health Act not up to national standards say inspectors

Unit where police take people detained under the Mental Health Act not up to national standards say inspectors The Care Quality Commission (CQC) found during a one day well-led inspection in October that Northamptonshire Healthcare Foundation Trust’s (NHFT) 136 suite at the Berrywood Hospital in Duston was not up to national guidelines.

A 136 suite is where people detained under Section 136 of the Mental Health Act by the police on concerns they are suffering from a mental disorder are taken. Once in the suite, the person is assessed to establish whether they need treatment. Northamptonshire Telegraph
