The aftercare of psychiatric patients discharged from hospital is currently under debate among clinicians and in the media. Our study audited the planning of aftercare for detained patients discharged under section 117 of the 1983 Mental Health Act. Our completed audit cycle showed how discharge planning can be improved yet underlines the difficulties encountered in providing for this vulnerable patient group.
