answer text

While it is expected that a person experiencing a mental health crisis should normally be transported by ambulance, there are circumstances in which for public safety reasons use of a police vehicle may be deemed necessary. Where police vehicles were used during 2017/18 in 62% of cases this was due to a risk assessment or an ambulance was not requested or the reasons was not recorded.The costs of such use will vary depending on the circumstances of individual cases and cannot easily be calculated. Nevertheless the Government has been very clear that the inappropriate use of police vehicles is undesirable from a patient perspective and abstracts police from their core policing duties.The Home Office is therefore working with police and health partners to find ways of identifying the reasons for and reducing conveyance by police vehicle. In addition the NHS Long Term Plan includes plans to introduce new mental health vehicles to reduce inappropriate use of ambulances and police vehicles.
