Patients back compromise in mental health units
Patients back compromise in mental health units
writes Louise Hunt
The Royal College of Psychiatrists has questioned whether psychiatric units should have to adopt a full smoking ban.
A survey of psychiatric inpatients showed attitudes towards a smoking ban differed considerably from those of the general public, and suggested a compromise could be struck when mental health trusts are required to bring in the ban on 1 July.
Mental health units were given a 12-month exemption from enforcing the smoking ban in public places which was introduced last year.
