Not fit for purpose.

"Not fit for purpose."

About: Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Glasgow / Accident & Emergency

(as a carer),

Came in after a suicide attempt where I had to grab a bottle from my partners arms  to prevent an overdoes and I spent the night in AandE. They were told to Think positive and that a bed wouldnt be needed, and sent home with phone number to NHS 111.

What more do you have to do for this service to take you seriously? Bleed in main room. I feel this is a joke of a mental health service and they should be ashamed.
