Despite this 53% of of young people who stayed in PICUs last year were there for 6 weeks or longer. On NHS units this figure was 48%, rising to 57% on private ones.
The family were told he would probably only stay on the PICU for about 24 hours before being transferred to a specialist autism unit. He ended up staying for seven months. Marc Bush, director of evidence and policy at YoungMinds, said:"We've had decades of historic underfunding of children's mental health and models of care are really out of date.
Ferndene hospital in Northumberland runs one of the only PICUs in the country with an outstanding rating from the regulator the Care and Quality Commission.
They’re obviously kept in there for a reason, people would only blame the authorities if one of those kids did something terrible. No one is detained in the Uk for the reason of having autism!
