§ Mr. HuttonThe average daily number of available general and acute beds in National Health Service hospitals increased in 2001–02 by 789 to 136,583 compared to the previous year.
The Chief Executive's Report published on 20 December demonstrates where increased resources have led to an improved system of care. A system that is flexible and where increased activity happens outside the traditional inpatient hospital stay—in outpatients or in primary care. In the mental health sector, services for users are developing to provide prompt assessment and treatment round the clock for people with acute mental health needs who would otherwise have to be admitted to hospital. New services have been developed with an increase in patient contact with assertive outreach teams, crisis resolution teams and early intervention teams over the last year.
