Mr. Burstow

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what role his Department has played in the(a) release and (b) post-release arrangements of Eden Strang; and if he will make a statement. [67854]

Mr. Strang was managed as a voluntary National Health Service patient.

His pre discharge and discharge plan was in line with the care programme approach which in general terms involves a multi-disciplinary assessment of health and social care needs, including risk assessment, and an appropriate care plan.
