  • The annual Monitoring the Mental Health Act report for 2019/20 with a specific focus on the impact that the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had on patients detained under the MHA, and on the services that care for and treat them.
  • In the summer of 2020, NHS England and NHS Improvement commissioned Rethink Mental Illness to undertake the co-production and coordination of a survey with people who use services, their carers and families across adult secure and forensic services to understand the impact of COVID-19. The survey gathered responses from 368 people from high, medium and low and community forensic services.
