Mental Health Alliance - Community Treatment Order survey (carer version)

The Mental Health Alliance is looking to produce a report on the first year’s impact of the Mental Health Act 2007.

Part of the report will look at the impact of Supervised Community Treatment (SCT) in England and Wales, and its powers to place certain patients on a Community Treatment Order (CTO) on discharge from hospital. These powers came into effect in November 2008.

Below is a brief questionnaire about use of SCT. The Alliance would be very grateful if you could just spend a few minutes responding.
