A judge describes the youngster's situation as 'shocking', citing a 'lack of resources nationwide'
The judge outlined details of the case after considering evidence at a recent family court hearing in DerbyA teenager with behavioural difficulties and mental health problems is "living" in a hospital children's ward because no suitable accommodation can be found, a judge has been told.
A ruling from a family court hearing in Derby said there was no medical need for the child to be in hospital.Citing a "lack of resources nationwide", she said a specialist placement was required.She said "an acute children's ward" had been the "only place" the teenager - who cannot be named for legal reasons - could reside, indicating they had been living at the hospital for weeks.
She said Derbyshire County Council and the University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust were the two public bodies involved, but noted: "I am confident the local authority has done everything it can to find a place but simply lack of resources nationwide prevents this.""This task, I am well aware, is a dispiriting and often fruitless one as there are few suitable places with vacancies," she said.
