BBC News report on unlawful detainment of those in mental health crisis

Today, the BBC revealed that in 2018 4,500 people in mental health crisis were unlawfully held in police custody due to a lack of mental health beds.

I spoke about this matter on BBC News earlier today. 

There is no question that the system must change immediately. This is nothing short of a scandal. Rest assured I will be pressing the Government on this issue.
