Mental health. Out of harm's way.
There are around 350 psychiatric intensive care units but standards vary. Guidelines have been published, bu there is no obligation to follow them. A number of units are inappropriately equipped--for example, 35 per cent lack single-sex facilities. Many PICU beds are blocked by patients who should be treated in low-secure units.
