@Adge @Mazarita @eth @Bimby2 @Maggie @Shaz51  good morning guys, hope your day has started well. I've been doing some research. and discovered a law here called Ryan's rule. it's for patients in hospital, who's conditions have declined or aren't getting better, and you think the hospital should be doing more. we're going to implement it today for our son. they send an independent nurse or doctor to do an assessment of him, and we go from there. have any of you heard of this? or done it? we're hoping it works. the hospital has told us they won't transfer him to his psychiatrist of 5 yrs to implement a proper mental health treatment program. we asked why and they said because we're just going to release him. they haven't fixed anything, they've just made him worse, and they want to unleash him onto the world. something is not right here.

Hold onto hope with your current issue
and wish you well. With every good wish. Bimby2.

Hi @octavia   hospitals also have access to a person called the Official Visitor who can help a lot when things aren't going right there.  And they are supposed to give you a brochure with info about how to access them.  Another possible course of action for you, and would also delay his release until you've seen them and they've assessed the situation.  Hoping this information is still accurate for you.  It was last time I checked.
