Request:
I would like the following data regarding patients detained under the Mental Health Act in inpatient psychiatric units within your trust:
1) The current number of patients detained under MHA in NHS inpatient mental health facilities?
- how many of these have an autism diagnosis?
2) The current number of patients detained under MHA in private provider inpatient mental health facilities?
- how many of these have an autism diagnosis?
3) The number of sexual assault allegations made by inpatients against a member of staff?
- how many of these allegations were reported to the police?
Information disclosed:
As an ‘acute’ hospital Trust, University Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust does not generally provide the services relevant to your request.
Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is responsible for the provision of mental health services in this catchment area and is therefore the appropriate contact for this information.
If after contacting Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust you still require information from us, please let us know and we will be happy to consider what additional assistance we can provide.
