A&W Trust say: "Increasingly we provide treatment and care in people’s own homes and other community settings, reflecting the preferences of our service users."
What this really means is releasing mentally ill patients to be cared for by their relatives who are not medically or emotionally equipped to deal with them and sending someone in once a week. This is not care in the community, it's just dumping them into the community and not providing adequate care.
"Not good enough"
