The BBC reports:
Spending on sending Norfolk and Suffolk mental health patients outside the two counties has risen four-fold in a year, new figures show.
The annual report for the Norfolk and Suffolk Foundation Trust says it spent £3.3m on placements outside the area in 2014-15 compared with £800,000 in 2013-14.
It says this was due to the increasing demands placed on the services.
The trust annual report says it spent £24.8m on temporary pay, 15% of the trust’s total pay bill and £8m higher than the previous year.
A report to the trust said the major reason for the deficit was spending on temporary staff and out of area placements.
