On the road with police responding to rising mental health callouts - BBC Newsnight

When someone's having a mental health crisis, what should they do? Who do they call? Increasingly it's the police and a Newsnight investigation reveals there's been a massive rise in mental health call-outs by people who’ve rung the police across the UK. In Merseyside, mental-health related incidents have gone up 313% in 5 years. Some police chiefs think it's down to lack of mental health services in the community and officers increasingly being seen as the first resort for people in a crisis. Newsnight’s Sima Kotecha goes out with Merseyside Police and a mental health nurse to attend to a call. This report contains suicidal references.
