Ive had a new one today where a dementia patient was placed on s2, then s3 due to levels of aggression. She is still on 1:1 but the hospital have said that they have done all they can for her and she needs to be transferred to a suitable home. The outcome today was that despite still being detained under s3 she is not entitled to S117 aftercare as she did not qualify on the point system. My understanding has always been that if detained under s3 you automatically qualified for s117, I have never heard of a point system and neither have my colleagues, can anyone direct me in the right direction to find answers please?
Many thanks
