2. The table in Annex A sets out a number of early actions that we think will support improvements for mental health.
Are there any other actions that you think we need to take to improve mental health in Scotland?
improve communication between health services, police, emergency services and social services. In our experience little information flows between these services and there is no joined up response to support person in crisis or to put in place a care plan.
Not enough support in the community.
Hospital care does not communicate with community care. No support in place for person leaving hospital after a crisis.
Not enough places on hospital wards - families expected to cope with person in crisis . Have to beg to get someone admitted, even when the person in crisis is willing to go to hospital.
