Couldn't agree more @Bow ! Interestingly, in my local health service they are opening soon an assessment unit for people with mental health and drug related problems in the local emergency department. It's designed to stop what you are talking about with people sitting in bays in emergency without support. It will be interesting to see how it goes. They have Peer Workers as part of the service, but it's not staffed 24/7 with a Peer Worker which I think it needs to be. But a definite improvement.
