George, aged 47, is susceptible to periods of depression and self-harming. He has been admitted to the local psychiatric hospital on a voluntary basis a number of times over the years. He recently lost his job, became depressed, stopped taking his medication and started to drink heavily. He refused to go back into hospital on a voluntary basis and has been detained for five months. His only relative, a sister whom he sees infrequently, has contacted the hospital and insists that George should be allowed home. His living accommodation is very poor and he has very few links in the community. He would also like to be discharged. The hospital are concerned that if discharged he will fail to take his medication and may start to self-harm again. Consider any options that would enable George to return safely to the community
