Staff critical of Mind service cut

Staff of a Mind mental health crisis service in East Yorkshire have
hit out at the charity’s decision to close its residential unit.

Mind’s Hull and East Yorkshire crisis service is being integrated
with a new social services-led, community-based crisis resolution
service.

Crisis service staff are alarmed that the move will lead to “no
residential alternative to hospital admission for service
users”.

Hull and East Yorkshire Mind said that the new service would be in
line with government policy.
