Western Trust Mental Health Crisis | Ireland News

from Ireland News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Police were called to Western Trust mental health units 189 times in one year—78% of all such calls in Northern Ireland. The trust, home to facilities in Derry and Omagh, recorded 85% of all serious incidents across the region, including violent outbursts graded as moderate, major, or catastrophic. While the trust credits its proactive reporting culture for safety, officials are now investigating why these numbers are so high—and how to ensure staff have the resources they need to protect everyone.
