This report explores the scale of challenge across the UK both in winter and all year round, it finds that escalating demand is putting pressure on emergency departments equivalent to around 13 new emergency departments. The paper goes on to note the different levels at which A&E departments are likely to be operating this winter, before concluding that hospital boards should be made aware of any risk so that they can act on it appropriately.
This analysis paints a challenging picture of mental health services and considers how limited access to services is hampering outcomes in people with serious conditions. Reflecting on significant gaps in service provision, the report finds that several barriers including; limited public engagement, workforce and funding are impacting capacity in the sector before concluding that clearer pathways and a concerted approach from the centre are key to overcoming them.
