Mental Health patients and suicide

A report, Coercion and Consent, published by the Mental Health Act Commission (MHCA), now part of the Care Quality Commission has stated that mental health care is still variable from service to service and patients have the right to a better standard of care. A third of the mental health patients who committed suicide, where supposed to be under surveillance according to the report. The Care Quality Commission has responded to the report voicing its own major concerns.
