Mind's Ward Watch campaign demands

• Hospitals should treat the meeting of minimum standards as the starting point for providing a truly therapeutic environment and not as an end in itself.
  
  
• Service users must be involved in the planning and delivery of proposed accommodation services.
  
  
• The Government and Wales Assembly Government must finally meet their own targets for eliminating mixed sex wards. 
  
  
• Urgent action must be taken to improve experiences and perceptions of safety in mental health wards. Harassment and assault should not be tolerated.
  
  
• Insufficient staffing levels and the reliance on agency staff, who may not have the training and/or experience to deal effectively with challenging patients and incidents, must be addressed immediately.
  
  
• All patients must have access to fresh air, exercise and meaningful recreation.
