Good Luck.
UK government has announced pilot scheme to help mentally ill people who have been arrested by police. Mental health nurses will work in police stations in 10 different regions across England. aim is to identify those with mental health issues as early as possible so they receive correct treatment. UK's Care and Support minister Norman Lamb explained: "Diverting individual away from offending, and helping to reduce risk of more victims suffering due to further offences benefits everyone." minister in charge of policing, Damian Green, said: "Police officers should be focused on fighting crimes, and people with mental health conditions should get care they need as early as possible."

pilot project could have big impact on how UK's police force uses personnel and resources. Police officers currently spend up to 25 per cent of their time dealing with suspected offenders with mental health problems. This is equivalent of around 26,000 officers. Paul Jenkins of charity Rethink Mental Illness welcomed new initiative. He said: "All too often, way our criminal justice system deals with people with mental health problems leads to poor outcomes for individuals, and frustration from police officers…and others." He added: "This initiative has potential to stop people going unnecessarily to prison, reduce reoffending rates and save millions in taxpayers' money."
