The findings of a study by the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) Scotland reveal that the NHS in Scotland lost 64 mental health nurses from 2011 to 2014. The report also highlighted a 17% decrease in the number of beds available in mental health services since 2010 and a 6% drop in inpatient admissions. The RCN has therefore expressed the need for "long-term sustainable investment in the future mental health workforce".
