Arrangements for the risk assessment, management and discharge of service users should be reviewed at the Scott Clinic. This review should include:- a) An overall assessment of the quality of information provided to the Ministry of Justice and relevant partners involved with ongoing care responsibilities and identification of associated actions for improvements. b) A set of criteria to be drawn up to clarify the reasons why service users are, or are not, considered suitable for discharge from inpatient care in a medium secure unit. This should include details of what a service user must achieve before they are considered suitable for discharge and information on what alternative provision needs to be made if the criteria are not, or cannot be met.
