uin	39031
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2016 answer text <p>The reduction in mental health beds over the last decade reflects the move to providing more community-based services. People should be treated, as far as they can be, and wherever clinically appropriate by ensuring we have better support in the community and effective step-up and step-down commissioning so people can access beds if needed. Bed provision should be based on effective local commissioner needs assessments of their local communities.</p><p>We know that there is some anecdotal evidence of variable services and difficulties in admissions to mental health beds. This is why we asked Lord Crisp to set up a Commission to review the situation, examine the causes of these pressures and make recommendations for improvement. The Commission found that problems in accessing beds in local areas was not necessarily down to a lack of beds but may also reflect problems in the wider mental health system such as providing alternatives to inpatient care and delayed discharges from hospital.</p><p>The independent Mental Health Taskforce recommended that NHS England should work with relevant partners to develop a response to the report by the Commission on Acute Adult Psychiatric Care by the end of 2016/17.</p><p>The Department will work with NHS England to develop this response.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 10/06/2016 11:12:57 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
