regarding this section

"In December 2014 Paul Netherton, assistant chief constable of Devon and Cornwall Police, complained publicly after a 16-year-old girl suffering mental health issues was held in a custody cell in Devon for around 48 hours because there were “no beds available in the UK”. 750 mentally ill people – including 28 children – have been detained in police custody in the county during 2014. Adolescents with mental health problems in Devon have been sent to units in Hull, Newcastle and Lancashire, and several vulnerable young people in the county have also been admitted to adult psychiatric units.[3]"

this adds no real relevant details about this trust - it is an adult mental health provider. Children and adolescent care is provided by Virgin Care — Preceding unsigned comment added by Devonhobbs (talk • contribs) 09:41, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
