The Queen's Speech at the opening of Parliament on 17 November 1994 introduced the Mental Health (Supervised Discharge) Bill which will seek to strengthen the powers of supervision for those detailed under the 1983 Mental Health Act. The debate over the legal control of people with mental health illness, which has previously focussed on confinement in hospital, now has to consider whether legal control over people living in the community, including supervision registers and supervised discharge, is acceptable. This article illustrated the issues involved in this debate.

This study examines the impact of the National Service (NHS) and Community Care Act on the discharge of patients from inpatient psychogeriatric wards in Nottingham. The dependency of each patient was assessed using the balance of care method and relationships between dependency and destination at discharge were examined. The dependency status of patients discharged between April 1993 and September 1993 was compared with the dependency and destination at discharge of all inpatients admitted during the corresponding period in the previous year. Results found that the first 6 months of the implementation of the Act has had negligible impact on discharge activity in these wards as measured by length of stay and destination at discharge.
