A study which was commissioned after two deaths involving Mental Health patients has found that Mental Health Services in Wales have placed some patients and held them in inappropriate institutions. The study found that a lack of beds, escalating costs, poor communication and funding disputes in the service were to blame for these issues. The BBC's Dragon's Eye programme also claimed a bid for more assembly powers over mental health was being held up and the welsh assembly stated they would consider the study before deciding what to do.
Mental health Services fall into three main catagories of High, Medium and Low but some patients being detained under the Mental Health Act should be sent to the appropriate institution. But the study found that a number of welsh patients were being held within the high security institutions who did not require this level of care. The reason for this can be down to delays in moving the patient to lower security institution and because within wales there is no dedicated medium secure institute for the treatment of Personality Disorder.
