to ensure people receive the most appropriate care.” The Right Care Right Person approach does not stop the police attending incidents where there is a threat to life or risk of immediate serious harm to an individual. Supt Minty added: “We have a duty to protect our communities and we will continue to do so.” The second phase of the initiative puts even more importance on strong working partnerships between the public service agencies. Mathew Page, Chief Operating Officer at Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust, commented: “We have been working closely with Wiltshire Police for a long time, and that
is continuing with the ongoing rollout of Right Care Right Person across the district. It is right and appropriate that we work together to ensure that we recognise where the support of police is required.” A spokesperson for the South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SWASFT), said: “Wiltshire Police have taken a positive and collaborative approach to the implementation of Right Care Right Person. We continue to work closely with them, to monitor any impact, and to help keep patients’ and our peoples’ safety at the forefront of discussions.”
As the Right Care Right Person approach continues to develop in and
around Wiltshire, it is hoped there will be a noticeable improvement for all those involved. From multi-agency response teams to those in need during an emergency situation, the benefits should bring notable improvements in efficacy and response across the board.
