Norfolk patients were forced to go to Yorkshire, Kent and London as a result of now available beds.
Officials from Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust (NSFT) and the Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG) for central Norfolk made a pledge in January to put an end to out of area inpatient placements by the end of April.
However, campaigners said the pressure on beds had got worse over the last four months and have called on the mental health trust to reverse a decision to close wards.
Some mental health patients were sent more than 200 miles away because no bed was available in Norfolk or Suffolk.
This poses the question; is there enough funding for mental health?
Many celebrities have been heavily involved in the mental health and have been campaigning to increase awareness and are trying to increase government spending on mental health.
