The new facility was inaugurated by Weston-super-Mare Mayor and councillor Sonia Russe.

The hospital is operated by Cygnet Health Care, which offers services to people with learning disabilities, autism and mental health needs.

Cygnet Hospital Kewstoke manager Joshua Tapp said the aim of the new ward is about evaluating and offering services in a least-restrictive environment and planning for their discharge in a timely manner.

He said: “With a focus on stabilisation, the Haywood Ward team will support service users to manage their mental health, reinforce daily living skills and prepare for independent life back in the community.”
