Nearly one in four areas of England has unacceptably high rates of early deaths among people with mental health problems, a report suggests.

AROUND-the-clock mental health care will be provided at all accident and emergency departments within the next five years.

This includes ensuring the provision of adequate liaison psychiatry services in emergency departments.
