What the petition asks
Increase funding for more staff to ensure vulnerable patients cannot hurt themselves. When anybody, whatever age, is admitted to a general or psychiatric hospital, whether this be A&E or detained under the Mental Health Act, they must be kept safe.
Hospitals are places where sick and vulnerable people are meant to be looked after. I think the government need to increase funding so these places are safer for us.
