Abstract
  • The Mental Health Bill proposes the introduction of supervised community treatment (SCT). Under SCT, some patients who have been compulsorily detained in hospital for treatment will, on discharge, become subject to a community treatment order (CTO) requiring them to comply with certain conditions, including taking their medication. SCT can only be imposed on patients directly following a period of compulsory detention for treatment in hospital - it cannot be imposed on patients who are living in the community at the time.
