John Jones

Mr Jones was initially referred to the Crisis Team because his GP believed that Mr (1) Jones' suicide risk coula not be safely managed within the community: When Mr Jones was in due course discharged from the Crisis Team'8 care it was Sproxenately a week before his GP was notified of that discharge. That notification was received by fax (3a SThis meant that during the important period immediately after discharge from the Crisis Team's care there was a period of approximately a week when Mr Jones was (notionally) back under the care of his GP but his GP was unaware that this was the case: this meant that Mr Jones would have had no support within the community during this period aside from a single follow up post-discharge call from the Crisis team: (4) In evidence the GP indicated that it would have been helpful to have been contacted by telephone at the time of Mr Jones'_discharge andnotified of it

(6) It did not appear to me that there was any clear provision within the Crisis Team $ training structure protocols for the sort of communication envisaged by Mr Jones' GP.
