Mental Health Bill [HL]Contribution
However, there is already provision in the clause which makes it clear that the reviews can make recommendations about the patient’s discharge from hospital and in relation to how social care needs can be met. It is our intention that this would cover any relevant points and potential barriers, including housing, based on the needs of the individual, so the point is extremely well made. To assist the responsible commissioner, statutory guidance will help them determine who to involve in review meetings and which factors should be covered. This will include where the involvement of other partners, such as housing departments and housing organisations, is strongly sought.
