Basic rights of mentally ill 'violated'

The basic rights of some mental health patients in England are being "violated" because of a shortage of beds in psychiatric units, MPs say.

It also warned safeguards to protect patients who lack capacity are often ignored.
The charity Rethink said the findings were "shocking"
