Recording of face down restraint can be an issue too. I had a several hour prone restraint, later apologised for (not denied), in a hospital that when a journalist asked how many face down restraints they had, disclosed zero. ‘Zero’ in a hospital where it was so routine no-one intervened for hours
I remember when the NHS said "stop all face down restraint" - calls to the police went up:
No-one warned the police the NHS would just start ringing 999 in some cases, asking officers to do for them what nurses were no longer permitted to do themselves.

With the UK Parliament reportedly considering a longer-term ban on puberty blockers, here is the evidence against the ban I provided to the UK Government and Commission on Human Medicines.
I have no doubt that Parliament will ignore that evidence today. But this is a long fight we intend to win.

Definitely agree - and for all universal public services. Remember a long and tedious set of arguments back in the day on this re a local council libraries review - isn't it as important to know why people *don't* use a service?
If you’re doing patient involvement for a mental health service and you are only listening to people who have been able to use the service, you risk an incomplete picture. You also need to listen to those who needed the service but were excluded from it, unable to access it, or ‘gatekept’ away.
