What happens if someone does not comply with limited community treatment conditions?
If someone under a forensic order does not comply with the conditions of ther limited community treatment, for example, they don't attend regular appointments or take their medication, the Mental Health Act 2000 permits the mental health service to return the person to a mental health facility to review their mental state. Sometimes police will be called to assist in returning the person to a mental health facility.
The conditions and amount of leave stated in the person's limited community treatment plan can be changed by the treating team at any stage but cannot exceed the leave approved by the Mental Health Court or Mental Health Review Tribunal.
