Dear Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust,

Please would you help me with some information.I cannot find details on the website.

I understand that a new Crisis House is to be / has opened in the grounds of St Pancras Hospital

Please can you confirm :

The date it opened / will be opened;

How many beds in total and how many are male/female and is this ratio intended to be variable;

Can this only be accessed via a Trust professional or can an individual or GP refer;

Is it intended that this Crisis House is only for south Camden residents and now Daleham Gardens Crisis House will only be available for North Camden residents;

If do what happens if someone does not want to be admitted to this Crisis House( is there any choice?);

The site is within the grounds of St Pancras. The following information is specifically requested:

Who owns the actual building the Crisis House is located in?

Is it based within the specific defines of the Trust hospital grounds?

How is it now or intended to be registered - ie ward, nursing home etc?

Do/will s5 holding powers under the Mental Health Act extend to the Crisis House as they do on a hospital ward. Please note that this is not a question about the ethos it is a request for clarification of legal status.

Finally please would it be possible to have a copy of the operational policy and please can you tell me when information regarding this particular Crisis House will be on your website so that the information is accessible

Many Thanks

Yours faithfully,

claire westbrook

This Trust has just failed the most recent CQC inspection in October 2013 and has been ordered to provide details of compliance by November 13th 2013.
The report can be accessed on the CQC website under St Pancras Hospital. It states concerns that many of us have been raising for a very long time and the Trust has ignored
