Community Care

Section 117 of the MHA is a duty to provide aftercare services to people who have been detained under sections 3, 37, 45A, 47 or 48 of the MHA and who then cease to be detained and leave hospital. A local social services authority can also request a review of a determination by the secretary of state.
