Patient's return to hospital after unsuccessful discharge from s2

Hi i wanted to ask what is the time frame that a failed discharge option can be used for P to go back in hospital back on s2 that P was discharged from. And who can do this admission back in. Can the P do themselves or can the psych liason team at A&E do this referal or does a new MHA needs to be completed .

If a person has been discharged from admission under the act then that’s it. For the person to go back to hospital it would require a further MHA assessment or a voluntary admission.
