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.<\/p>
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.<\/p>
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.<\/p>"}

It is not possible to make direct comparisons between these years due to changes in police funding arrangements over the period. Information on historic police funding can be found in our statistical bulletin published at https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/police-funding-for-england-and-wales-2015-to-2019 <\/a>which explains the changes in the structure of police funding.<\/p>Details of the police funding settlement for forces in England and Wales, is published annually at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/police-finance<\/a>. The funding settlement for 2019/20, agreed by Parliament on 5 February, provides up to £970 million of additional funding for the police, including the pensions grant and income from council tax precept. In the West Midlands, this means funding of up to £568.6 million, an increase of up to £34.3 million from 2018/19.<\/p>"}
