The NHS is to open a network of mental health accident and emergency units across England in an attempt to ease the pressure on overcrowded hospital A&Es and emergency services. Ten NHS trusts have opened dedicated units for mental health emergencies, the Times reported, and the scheme is expected to be expanded nationally as part of the 10-year NHS plan being published this summer by Labour. Sir James Mackey, the chief executive of NHS England, told the Times: “Crowded A&Es are not designed to treat people in mental health crisis. “As well as relieving pressure on our busy A&Es, mental health crisis assessment centres can speed up access to appropriate care, offering people the help they need much sooner, so they can stay out of hospital.”Last week, the Guardian reported that thousands of people with a mental health crisis are enduring waits of up to three days in A&E before they get a bed. A senior nurse in the south-west of England said: “Lots of people will just come and wait and be patient.

NHS England said that the some of the centres will be new, self-contained units, while others will be incorporated into existing A&Es. He said it was impossible to separate out physical and mental health problems so simply, calling for separate facilities to be put in place "carefully". Calling for better funding of NHS mental health services, he noted the share of health spending on mental health treatment had gone down last year and was set to do so again. Baroness Merron, the minister for mental health, said: "Too often, people experiencing mental health crisis are not getting the support or care they deserve, and so it is vital that we continue to provide a range of services like this one." "On top of this, through our proposed reforms to the Mental Health Act, we will ensure people with the most severe mental health conditions get better more personalised care."
