CONCORD — The state agreed Wednesday to purchase the 111-bed Hampstead Hospital in Hampstead on to provide psychiatric care for for children, which will help to alleviate the state’s emergency room boarding crisis.

For the past few years, the state has had a hard time finding enough psychiatric hospital beds for adults and children. They have been housed in emergency rooms until a bed is found.
