Devon Primary Care Trust Meeting

On Wednesday 19th November I attended the Devon Primary Care Trust. I had previously submitted a question on Mental Health. Dr Radford chaired the meeting and in his address stated that he expected services to be open and transparent. He had referred my question to the Devon Partnership who had replied to him by letter.-
" Services for mental health patients who need extra care would be cared for on the Oak Unit at Torbay Hospital. The Unit comprised of two single sex wards. The Unit has emergency facilities on site. Also the Occupational Health support is located at Torbay Hospital as too are the laboratories.There is a courtyard situated off the ward where patients can take fresh air. Also a family area for children to visit separate from the wards".

Please e-mail me if I can help further.
