CQC report is calling for urgent improvements at a mental health unit and it hits hard. People deserve safe, supportive care, not systems that slip through the cracks.

A reminder why awareness & accountability matter, we need real change not words. #mentalhealth #nhs

1 in 10 in a mental-health crisis are now waiting over 24 hours in A&E. In some departments it is more than a third.
This is a system under strain.
Mental health is not theoretical. It shows itself in waiting rooms, long nights & delayed care. #nhs #mentalhealth #care

Thousands waiting 24hrs in A&E with mental illness

One in 10 mental health patients who attended A&E in England last month stayed for more than 24 hours - and this figure rose to more than one in three in some departments, new data suggests.
