"My sister is not kept securely on this "secure" ward"

I have fought now for a number of years to get my sister into a care setting for serious mental health issues cause by crack cocaine addiction. After successfully getting her into Dunnotar Ward in December, we were then hopeful this was the start of something positive for her.

Our hope was short lived only 4 days later when she managed to escape from this secure ward. She was then captured by the police, who almost knocked down my mothers door in the process, before locating her at her own address. She was returned to the ward and then there was a period of 2 weeks where we were seeing real progress before she escaped again due to a bank worker on the ward allowing her to pass a secure door.

In the past 10 days, despite escaping twice already, she has now managed to escape a further 3 times. Dunnotar Ward we are advised is a secure ward yet they seem unable to contain my sister who is clearly a flight risk and we now have no faith in what they are doing there.
