Five mentally ill people had to be held in police cells over the last year because of a shortage of appropriate hospital facilities at the time.
That's according to the Chief Constable who says "nothing about this is right" - he's revealed that 20 per cent of incidents his officers deal with are linked to mental health:
The Department of Health and Social Care has compiled a new Mental Health Strategy - something which Gary Roberts says offers "opportunities" to reduce the demands on the force.
He says he's now "genuinely hopeful" that progress can be made by using a joined-up approach:
Ramsey Remembrance service to be marked by maroon rockets
MEDS phone line to be down temporarily
Committee to examine link between poverty and poor academic performance
Police advice for trick-or-treaters to stay safe
How will Manx Care reduce the number of negligence claims?
Manx Language Festival to be held next week
Manxman sailings in doubt from tomorrow
Car falls down steep bank on Mountain Road
