Saddened to hear of the death of #EthelKennedy. Her work as a human rights advocate was a significant memorial to her husband’s too short life. Her passing marks another break with that traditional of American liberal political dynasties.

Much discussion about benefits of outreach teams in mental health. And promises to “learn the lessons” from the Nottingham tragedy - a phrase that infuriates families. But the real question is why we unlearned past lessons & what this tells us about future safety. 🧵

For us as leaders in the sector, we must continue to push for #reform and #investment in the appropriate range of services and supports. If we don't, I fear this case will come to be seen of negative and devisive significance in the tide of #mentalhealth reform in #England 2/2

Today's @CareQualityComm report not only identifies the mistakes and gaps in this awful case, but demonstrates a longer, systemic failure to build on the progress made 20 years ago with #assertiveoutreach as part of the #NSF and service improvements 1/2

This from @ProfLAppleby is exactly right #mentalhealth
Hearing commentators saying the problem is we closed the old hospitals but never created care in the community. Simplistic & poorly informed. In early 2000s, 700 new specialised community teams were created inc 220 outreach teams. Question is how this progress was lost.
