Ensure Every Psychiatric Patient in Wales Receives a Hope Bag on Admission.

Ensure Every Psychiatric Patient in Wales Receives a Hope Bag on Admission. — 12 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

We want the Welsh Government to ensure every person admitted to a psychiatric ward in Wales receives a Hope Bag containing essential care items on admission, making Hope Bags a funded and standard part of psychiatric inpatient care in Wales. A mental health crisis shouldn't cost you your dignity.

Additional details

People are often admitted to psychiatric wards unexpectedly, in crisis and without basic belongings. Hope Bags are essential care packs providing toiletries, hygiene products and comfort items to ensure that nobody enters psychiatric care without the basics needed to feel human, respected and cared for. Hope Bags improve patient experience, complement clinical care, reduce inequality in healthcare, support therapeutic relationships and allow staff to deliver quality care. Dignity is essential.
