we have a patient admitted on CTO recall. CTO 5 has been made to revoke the CTO and but my doubt is about the status of the patient. both recommendation and AMHP report says that he need to be detained. one of my colleague told me that when a CTO being revoked patient become section 3, not sure about that . please some one help
