The Acute Care Pathway Manager, Gary Walsby, has now given the following response to your concerns:

I am very sorry to hear that the Crisis Resolution Home Treatment Service did not call you back when you rang in the evening for support. The Crisis Resolution Home Treatment Service does offer a support line out of hours in the evenings and weekends and should have returned your call. So you are aware, during office hours 9.00am - 5.00pm any calls would normally go through the Community Mental Health Team i.e. the Bridge Centre, and be resolved in this way. Even so, the Crisis Resolution Home Treatment Service should have at least listened to your concerns.

Without further details of the calls that were made, or who was spoken to, it is difficult to provide a more detailed response. I would therefore like to meet with you to listen to your concerns and investigate them more fully to ensure this situation does not arise again in the future.

If this is agreeable to you then please call Parklands Hospital on: 01256 817718 and ask to speak with Gary Walsby. We can then arrange this meeting to address your concerns.
