Written Question
Mental Health Services: Greater London
Monday 29th February 2016

Asked by: Sadiq Khan (Labour - Tooting)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, on how many occasions a Mental Health Act 1983 assessment requested on someone in custody in London took longer than 24 hours in each of the last five years.

Answered by Alistair Burt

The information requested is not held centrally.

The Policing and Crime Bill, currently before Parliament, will seek to reduce the maximum length of time a person can be detained under section 135 or 136 of the Mental Health Act 1983 from 72 to 24 hours, to make clear that people should be assessed as quickly as possible.


Written Question
Mental Health Services: Children and Young People
Friday 26th February 2016

Asked by: Sadiq Khan (Labour - Tooting)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many (a) children and (b) adolescent patients in (i) England and (ii) London were admitted to mental health hospitals outside of their home local authority area in each of the last five years.

Answered by Alistair Burt

A finished admission episode (FAE) is the first period of admitted patient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider. FAEs are counted against the year or month in which the admission episode finishes. Admissions do not represent the number of patients, as a person may have more than one admission within the period.

The Healthcare and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) is able to provide data based on clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) and Area Teams (AT) in England but not by local authority area. The table below shows the number of FAEs to a Mental Health and Learning Disability Trust outside of (a) CCG and (b) AT of Residence, for patients aged 0-15 and 16-18 in England and resident in London for years 2010-11 to 2014-15.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many people arrested in (a) England and Wales, (b) London and (c) each London borough were diverted to mental health services after an assessment by liaison and diversion workers in each year since 2010.
