Dormitory Eradication Programme – Lessons Learnt. “If you were approaching this scheme again, what questions would you ask during the design?”
In October 2020 the Government announced that more than £400m would be spent over the next four years eradicating dormitory accommodation from mental health facilities across the country in an effort to improve the safety, privacy, and dignity of patients suffering with mental illness. Funding was allocated to 34 projects across all regions of England.
