On behalf of Helen Mason, Chief Executive

 

Alex,

 

Please find below answers to your questions as per your Official
Information Act request dated 8 June 2016:

 

1.      The number of mental health patients currently detained in
seclusion units.

There are no mental health patients currently detained in seclusion rooms.

 

2.      How long each has been detained for.  I’m happy for this to be
aggregated into bands (e.g. less than one month, 1–3 months, 3-6 months, 6
months, 1 year and so on) in order to protect privacy.  If this would
result in a refusal for substantial collation and research because there
are more than a hundred such detainees, I am happy to limit the statistics
to those detained for more than six months.

As noted above there are currently no patients in seclusion.

 

Regards,

 

Karina Thomson
