In their annual report for 2012-13 <em>Monitoring the Mental Health Act in 2012/13</em>, published in January 2014, the CQC noted concerns raised by the House of Commons Health Committee over whether the Act’s powers of detention were being used improperly to access services. They said they found no direct evidence of unlawful practice.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>On 22 August 2014, the CQC published a series of reports relating to its inspection in May 2014 of services provided by Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust. The CQC found that that bed occupancy at the Trust averaged 96.4% between October and December last year, compared to the average of 85.9% across England. CQC inspectors were told that the pressures on beds meant that most new admissions to inpatient beds were people detained under the Act.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The CQC’s annual report on the Act for 2013-14 is expected to be published early in 2015.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency North Norfolk answering member printed Norman Lamb question first answered 24/10/2014 11:27:05 answering member 1439 label Biography information for Norman Lamb
