Inpatient mental health care
The following information was requested:
I hope you are well. I just wondered if you might be able to advise on whether NHS resolution holds data on negligence cases relating to inpatient mental health care. I noticed an FOI from February this year which showed community mental health and primary care.
I wondered if you had separate data on inpatient mental health care?
