Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government when they will publish their response to the report of the Commission on Adult Inpatient Psychiatric Care.
NHS England, working with other arm’s length bodies, has prepared a response to recommendations from the Commission on Adult Psychiatric Care in England. The response will be published in due course.
Inappropriate out-of-area placements are unacceptable and the Government has committed to eliminate these in non-specialist, acute mental health care by 2020/21.
