Sir Jake Berry met with Bren McFarlane's mum Gail after reading about the heart-breaking circumstances surrounding his death
Rossendale and Darwen MP Sir Jake Berry has vowed to highlight the issues facing mental health services after a young man from his constituency took his own life in a secure hospital.
"It is mostly with male patients; it's easier to find a bed for female patients. It's a very common occurrence." It was on September 30 that an assessment of Bren led mental health practitioners to submit an urgent request for a bed in a mental health unit. With none available within the NHS LSCFT looked to the private sector; as is becoming increasingly common, which must be paid for by the patient's local NHS trust.
"A mental health crisis is exactly that; an immediate and urgent need for help, and if no help is available, then there is the possibility that this will happen again," Sir Jake said during his meeting with Gail, which was attended by LancsLive. "It's vital to raise awareness about this issue to ensure that Bren's tragic death doesn't happen again. Mental health bed availability is a national problem and it has to be tackled.
