The proposal is to provide generic acute mental health units for young people with conditions such as Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Psychosis, Eating Disorders, Complex PTSD / Severe Self-harm and complex neurodevelopmental presentations including ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and ASC (Autism Spectrum Condition). No specialist Eating Disorder provision or secure mental health units for young people exists at all at present in either the East Midlands or Yorkshire and Humber. The specific and specialist ASC service would be the first in the country, to our knowledge. It is also planned to provide specialist services for young people with significant Learning Disabilities (LD) and Mental Illness, as these services are currently only provided nationally in Newcastle and Birmingham.
