@JetBoltOfficial I can’t create a wallet as there is a glitch in that when I press “create” it doesn’t work. I can’t log off as it covers the home page. How can I resolve this?

Where's Billy @rishisunak? Nearly 35,000 of us signed @mindcharity's petition asking you where the Mental Health Bill is. It was handed into @10downingstreet today. Keep your promise & reform the Mental Health Act before the next election #RaiseTheStandard

Sick. This is totally where the predominantly male bloodthirst run egos of religion and government have failed the human beings of this planet. And everyday people pay with their lives. All these Religions and Governments right now are showing no more advancement than the behavior of a cave. Sick

He’s just been picked up by the police today close to the sea, planning suicide by drowning. Enough said.

@LancsPolice @LancsPolice

I telephoned 999 yesterdays to report a suicidal young person who has been in and out of psychiatric units every few weeks throughout the year.

He has made many serious attempts to take his life, leading to hospitalisation.

Having been made homeless he was placed in temporary accommodation by the local authority but has run away to a different area.

He has told me that he is suicidal and intends to take his life as soon as he can find anything to do it with.

His social worker rang the police to be told he didn’t meet the criteria for officers to be deployed.

I have spoken to a call centre supervisor, who also tells me that because of the ‘Right Care Right Person’ policy, he does not warrant a deployment because this situation does not meet the criteria of there being a “real and immediate risk to life”.

This is an outrage. He clearly meets the threshold of being at risk.

Clearly situations arise where people experience suicidal ideation, but have not attempted to take their own life; whilst this does not mean that they won’t make an attempt, I accept that the appropriate response in such circumstances would be to involve a mental health professional.

This is not that type of case. This individual has severe psychiatric illnesses, and has been sectioned under section 136 of the Mental Health Act on numerous occasions this year, to protect him from the risk of serious harm or death by his own hand.

What amounts to a “real and immediate risk to life”? Does it mean he has to actually have harmed (or killed) himself before he meets the criteria? I’m not sure how much closer he could be to acting on his impulses, before he was deemed to warrant a deployment.

He’s told me he is suicidal, he’s told me he’s going to do it, and he is at high risk of suicide because of his vulnerabilities, and the fact he has previously acted on thoughts of that nature.

Additionally, your supervisor told me that it only mattered what was happening today. This disregard as to his previous actions is incomprehensible, because they have a direct bearing on the chances that he will carry out his plans.

In my view your officers are not interpreting this policy appropriately, and this is going to lead to the deaths of many more people.

Furthermore, I was advised to call an ambulance. No ambulance is going to attend prior to someone injuring themselves. Paramedics do not, in any event, have the power to detain - despite my being told by the officer that this power exists under section 135 of the MHA. This is inaccurate and represents a fundamental misunderstanding by a senior officer within your organisation.

I shall be following this up in a formal manner, but felt it important to address this now, and make people aware of the poor level of support available to suicidal individuals.

In my view this is a misinterpretation of the ‘Right Care Right Person’ policy, which is very likely to lead to more deaths, especially young men, who we know that suicide is the second likely cause of death.

I still haven’t heard from him.

I’ve just signed the @Shelter letter to @Keir_Starmer, @RishiSunak, @EdwardJDavey, @AdrianRamsay and @carla_denyer that my vote will only be won with a promise to rebuild our housing system. You can too: https://t.co/lekoUIIDuf

@karenbradyuk @KrutHawort Being rude won’t help your cause. It tends to do the opposite.

[Wendy Pearson @Chicksters69]

@mrjamesob That’s a rather kind description!

[Wendy Pearson @Chicksters69]

@jaqjacjak @mrjamesob Voted Johnson for Mayor,not PM. As PM James has never resiled from his opinion. He’s not the only person with good critical thinking and argument. Are you suggesting that none of the public who have called in don’t have those skills? Not one convincing argument to contradict him
