ICYMI @martinwebber.bsky.social and I have some thoughts on the recent evaluation of Right Care Right Person… there’s still so much we don’t know for sure about the wider impact of this policing policy or how mental health services should be strengthened so that the police are less involved anyway

Check out our blog which is our reflections on the recent evaluation of the policy of Right Care Right Person - still a lack of evidence about impact on mental health and ambulance service especially given the under resourcing of health and social care
