Desperate patient, 26, has been living with a toothbrush inside her for 10 months after swallowing it on the secure treatment unit where she has been held for seven years - the best toothbrush

A woman has been living in a safe psychiatric unit after swallowing her toothbrush for 10 months, where she has spent the last seven years.
Ayla Haines, 26, from Carmarthen, Wales, was admitted as an evaluation unit at the age of 19 after struggling with anorexia and other mental health disorders.
Her family told her how she was "desperate to end it all" as the government did not take enough steps to move people out of these assessment and treatment units.
They treat vulnerable young people who are considered dangerous to themselves and patients should be admitted for 18 months
But the average stay is more than five years.
Ella's mother, Jane Haines, told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire show: "She is very eager to end it all and currently has a toothbrush in her body.
"It's still stuck in her.
They said they would pass naturally, but it didn't happen.
It has the potential to cause serious damage.
She added: "She is my only child.
She means everything to me. She's my life.
Incredible.
I live in a nightmare.
"You can't imagine this happening to anyone.
Ms. Haines said that Ayla's life in a medium-security unit 200 miles from home included her days starting at the age of seven. 30am until 9.
30 in a room.
She told the program: "Except for one visit, she has not left that Ward in the past year except for a hospital visit.
"We haven't seen her for the past year.
We only allow three ten minutes of calls a week.
She added: "She has a huge bald roof on her head, and from all her head impacts her hair will never grow back.
A doctor said she may have caused more brain damage.
I really didn't see a happy ending.
Judy Haines, Ella's grandmother, said: "There is nothing we can do about it and we have to sit down and watch her suffer.
It's torture for her and for us.
A social worker at the unit where Ayla lives told his family on June 2018, "as far as toothbrushes are concerned, Ayla has done an X-ray and the general hospital reports that they expect toothbrushes to pass naturally.
The ward team will continue to monitor her physical condition on a regular basis.
The theater where she lives said she could not comment on individual cases.
But it says, "work with everyone to design a care package around them to keep them safe and help them get back to the community ".
According to the BBC, the British government said in 2015 that it was committed to reducing the number of hospitalized patients in the UK by at least 35 percentage points, although only 20 percentage points have been relocated so far.
This means that there are still 2,000 patients, and the government has extended the original deadline for March 2019 to 2020.
Experts say the average cost of placing a person in the ATU is over £ 3,000 per week.
The first time the ATU was censored was in 2011, when the BBC's panoramic program exposed the abuse at the Winterbourne lookout in Hambrook, Gloucester County.
The government says it will end the use of people who can live in the community through a program called "transforming care"
It cost £ 10.
Dan Scorer, policy director at Mencap, told the BBC: "People have been there for many years and they shouldn't be there.
"Just like closing psychiatric institutions, these places need to be closed and people need to be supported in the community.
Another case study in the BBC report includes Linda and Chris Hutchins 27-year-
The daughter of a security unit in East Midlands.
After struggling with eating disorders and depression, she was split at the age of 14.
Her father, Chris, told the show: "Can you even imagine another situation in which a person is stuck with a presumption of guilt?
What will they do to themselves or others?
You have lost your basic right to freedom.
The Birmingham City Council, which takes care of her daughter, said it was not possible to comment on individual cases.
Labor shadow health minister Barbara Killi said: "They are like the bedlam institution in Victorian times.
This is a hidden horror.
In 2015, 40 people were killed in these units, 9 of whom were under 35.
A Ministry of Health spokesman said: "We are determined to reduce the number of autistic patients with learning disabilities in mental health hospitals, and a significant investment in community support has been reduced by 20%.
The NHS has promised to reduce the number of hospitalized patients by 35% by 2020.
Ayla's hospital told the BBC that they were under strict supervision and were monitored by the quality of care committee.
