Review discharge of mental health patients
Why do we allow people struggling with mental health to be discharged alone. We think this is a huge safeguarding issue and not protecting the vulnerable. A review should consider requiring that patients are discharged into the care of someone. We think this could prevent the loss of lives.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
