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.

Government response

The Government agrees that people should be provided with the right support post-discharge, as set out in statutory guidance. There are no plans for a review.
