Unexpected deaths at mental health trust almost doublepublished at 09:34 Greenwich Mean Time 6 February 2017
Last month the prime minister made a major speech, saying how she planned to improve mental health services.
Theresa May also said that there's not enough help for those suffering from mental health problems.
Mental health trusts have been seeing reductions in their budgets. The Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, external was the first in the country to implement a major restructure in 2013.
Frontline community teams were disbanded, and experienced staff laid off.
The trust closed 136 beds, which means patients are still being sent hundreds of miles away to get a bed, despite promises to stop the practice.
It also means more people are being treated in the community.
Over the same four-year period, the number of unexpected deaths almost doubled.
Other trusts across the country are also thinking about restructuring their services.
Richard Murray, from The King's Fund charity, external, says the mistakes made by the Norfolk and Suffolk Trust should serve as a warning.
Quote MessageThere are warning signs from Norfolk and Suffolk, and other parts of England, about making major transformations very quickly that are radical and sometimes not on the most solid of evidence bases, sometimes with the real goal to save money... this is really a warning."
