In February 2016, the Commission on Acute Adult Psychiatric Care published a final report, ‘Old Problems, New Solutions: Improving acute inpatient psychiatric care for adults in England’, which highlighted that the challenges of finding beds is not simply due to a reduction of beds, but rather relates to hospital discharge issues and the lack of community care and alternatives to admission.

This work includes £400 million additional investment by 2021 for crisis resolution and home treatment teams, so that these services are available 24/7 and can help treat more people in the community and reduce hospital admissions.</p><p> </p><p>This programme also includes specific action to improve access to high quality acute mental health care, and to eliminate out of area placements.</p><p> </p><p>Following concerns about increasing incidence of detention under the Mental Health Act 1983 in recent years, in October 2017 my Rt. hon. Friend the Prime Minister commissioned an independent review to look at how the legislation and practice can be improved. Professor Sir Simon Wessely is leading the Review, which will publish an interim report in the spring and a final report in late 2018.</p><p> </p><p>The Care Quality Commission has examined the factors that may be affecting the rise of detentions under the Act, and reported this January. It identified a number of factors including changes in the law and its interpretation, demographic changes, improved data reporting, as well as pressure on beds.
