HM Inspectors of Constabulary and Prisons, Care Quality Commission & the Healthcare Inspectorate Wales Report in
June 2013
“This report finds that too many people are being detained in police custody under section 136. Their only “crime” is that they have mental disorders, but they are treated in many ways as if they are criminals. This deplorable situation cannot be allowed to continue.
“To ensure the correct care and consideration is given to these vulnerable people our report outlines a series of recommendations not only for the police service, but also for other organisations responsible for protecting those suffering with mental health disorders.”
