(4) When a public mental health service discharges a patient/client/consumer to an organisation that provides long term accommodation the service consults with that organisation as part of the discharge protocol and planning process.
The Mother and Baby Unit (MBU) at the Womens' and Newborn's Health Service, has only on rare occasions, discharged patients to a non-government organisation (NGO) accommodation provider. In the event this occurs, prior to discharge, there is extensive liaison and planning with the relevant NGO and the MBU continues to provide community mental health nurse follow up review post discharge to the patient. Sometimes, prior to discharge, a trial period of leave for the patient will be negotiated with the accommodation service to ensure it is appropriate for the patient to be discharged to this service.
For the WA Country Health Service (WACHS), all NGOs affiliated with the Community Supported Residential Units (CSRU) are consulted as part of the discharge planning for residents and potential residents of this accommodation.
