Emergency admissions for assessment at All Saints Hospital
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Extract
During 1991, only 0.54% of all admissions to All Saints Hospital (ASH) were under section 4 of the 1983 Mental Health Act (MHA) (England & Wales), representing 2.63% of all admissions under the MHA. These figures compare favourably with other published studies. This paper looks at possible reasons for these low figures and reports on an audit of those few admissions against the criteria laid down in the MHA.
