Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust runs a specialist mental health trust and provides learning disabilities, addiction management, acquired brain injury services and the provision of community nursing and therapies services in The City of Liverpool and Sefton.

It planned to move patients with "exceptionally complex mental health disorders" to a new 40-bed low-security unit in Maghull, but has been unable to secure capital funding.

The trust was one of the beneficiaries of Boris Johnson's announcement of capital funding for the NHS in August 2019, with an allocation of £33 million for a new 40 bed low secure unit for people with learning disabilities.

The technology, provided by digital health company, Docobo, allows nurses, carers, or patients to record and monitor vital signs such as blood oxygen levels.
