    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Breakdown in communication about the steps and responsibilities for Mental Health referral

    Wider context from the report

    “2. I have concerns with regard to the following: i. There appears to be an apparent breakdown in communication or a misunderstanding between GP and patient as to what steps needed to be taken and by whom in order for there to a Mental Health referral. ii. Reliance appears to have been placed on verbal discussions during consultation and in circumstances where the patent is an addict. iii. There does not appear to be a system where there would be an automatic referral by the GP to the Mental Health team after a 90 day period of sobriety unless the patient “opted out” or where following an automatic referral it is left to the Mental Health team to seek the co operation of the patient. iv. There does not appear to be a letter sent by the surgery confirming the respective responsibilities of the doctor and patient. ”
