Dear  ***** *****

 

Re: Freedom of Information Request.

Thank you for your request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, received 17 September 2019. Your request has been considered and our response is in bold below.

 

You requested the following: 

Please can you tell me over the last five financial years how many people with a dementia diagnosis have been detained under the Mental Health Act 1983 under section 2 or section 3 of the act. Please specify whether section 2 or section 3 was used.

Please specify where each person was detained e.g. hospital name

Please can you also tell me how many people with a dementia diagnosis who were detained under the Mental Health Act have subsequently been turned down for after-care by a care home and if more than one care home has turned down after-care please can you state how many homes have done so.
