Travelling 200 Miles To See Daughter In Mental Health Care
August 4, 2015
Part of a report from today’s Victoria Derbyshire:
The government has announced an extra £143m for children’s mental health services in England, including an attempt to end children being treated far from home. Maria Higginson and her daughter Amber are from Torquay, Devon, but the authorities said the nearest care was 200 miles away in Maidenhead, Berkshire. Now Maria faces a journey of hundreds of miles to see Amber, as our Social Affairs Correspondent Michael Buchanan reports.
