This petition is about patient safety and prevention: ensuring robust risk assessment, appropriate supervision, specialist mental-health input and safe access to care while respecting patients' dignity and legal rights.","additional_details":"One of the reported fatalities involved my best friend. I have separately provided evidence to the Coroner and raised patient-safety concerns with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales.\r\n\r\nI am asking for an independent review of whether current systems are sufficiently robust, including risk assessment, consideration of capacity where relevant, information-sharing, specialist mental-health assessment, supervision and procedures when a vulnerable patient leaves an emergency department.\r\n\r\nI believe these reported incidents highlight the need for an independent review of whether there are common risks or gaps in current systems for protecting people experiencing acute mental-health crises in Wales, so that appropriate lessons can be identified and further harm prevented.","state":"open","signature_count":55,"threshold_for_referral":250,"threshold_for_debate":10000,"created_at":"2026-09-23T07:58:27.222Z","updated_at":"2026-09-30T17:33:20.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-09-30T10:21:00.681Z","closed_at":"2027-03-30T22:59:59.999Z","completed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-09-23T09:40:20.000Z","referral_threshold_reached_at":null,"referred_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"archived_at":null,"submitted_on_paper":false,"submitted_on":null,"creator_name":"Miss Kelly Louise Huish","rejection":null,"debate":null,"topics":[{"code":"mental-health","name":"Mental Health"}],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"England","code":"GB-ENG","signature_count":5},{"name":"Wales","code":"GB-WLS","signature_count":50}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"id":"W09000048","name":"Afan Ogwr Rhondda","signature_count":1},{"id":"W09000052","name":"Caerdydd Ffynnon Taf","signature_count":1},{"id":"W09000053","name":"Caerdydd Penarth","signature_count":1},{"id":"W09000054","name":"Casnewydd Islwyn","signature_count":7},{"id":"W09000055","name":"Ceredigion Penfro","signature_count":3},{"id":"W09000056","name":"Clwyd","signature_count":1},{"id":"W09000058","name":"Gwynedd Maldwyn","signature_count":2},{"id":"W09000059","name":"Gŵyr Abertawe","signature_count":2},{"id":"W09000062","name":"Sir Fynwy Torfaen","signature_count":29}],"signatures_by_region":[]}}}
