Foolestroupe has accidentally said something sensible.
Because of successive govt policy, people with severe mental illness are allowed to live almost unsupervised "in the community".
To make matters worse, young carers and social workers are sent to visit these unfortunate people, often alone.

Just a couple of weeks ago a young girl of 22 was stabbed to death while visiting a man who suffered severe mental problems.

What is needed is a proper psychiatric service with secure accomodation and proper supervised psychiatric care.

This of course would cost some of the billions which are at present being used to make consultants, doctors and nurses filthy rich.
And as a side effect cut waiting times and make the govt more popular.

We should demand that our NHS is run as was intended .
For the benefit of the patients ..not the administrators....Ake
