2023
An example from one of our meetings in 2023 - discussing neglect and self-neglect, the group raised concerns about people discharged from hospitals without the right support - there was lots of information about services shared to help with this.
We also considered the impact of delays in finding mental health beds for people in acute need, and how this leaves them unsafe in communities. The group reflected on the need to see self-neglect as wider than just a functional assessment, care and support is wider than just washing and dressing.
