"Crisis teams unable to support patients properly"

I was in contact with the North East Crisis team for NHS GGC as an existing CMHT patient. They were unable to refer me for DBI intervention as they don't have access as a referral agency, which I find quite ridiculous and would be helpful for Crisis Teams to be able to refer patients who require this rather than waiting for them to access NHS 24 and MHAU.

NHS GGC need to look at this as it would allow patients to get the right support in the right place where they need support with their mental health for a few days but don't require a crisis team involved with them.
