Motion NDM7289 Siân Gwenllian

To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

1. Notes the concerns about quality of care raised by relatives of Welsh patients in inpatient mental health units in England.

2. Believes that no patient experiencing mental health problems should be sent to units that are large distances from their family.

3. Calls on the Welsh Government to:

a) ensure sufficient inpatient capacity for mental health services in Wales so that the outsourcing of care can be phased out;

b) have a plan for the repatriation of Welsh patients currently living in units in England;

c) place a ban on the Welsh NHS using units in England that have poor reports from the Care Quality Commission;

d) ensure that units outside of Wales receiving Welsh NHS money comply with Welsh inspection requirements.
