Cordell said as far as she knows Simon is willing to work with the doctors and take his medication. Mrs

VIEWS OF THE PATIENT

Simon is willing to co-operative with mental health services. He said he is willing to take his medication.

He gave me a letter he wrote to indicate his commitment to treatment and willingness to engage. I attach
it for your information.

POSITIVE ASPECTS OF PATIENT

Simon was able to access community resources independently and had the ability and capacity to make
some choices. He is competent in his activities of daily living skills.

He plans to register a charity to raise funds to support causes dear to his heart. One of such causes is

towards premature babies. He said his sister was born premature. The other is to help homeless people.

AFTERCARE

Simon lives on his own in a one bedroom ground floor flat in Enfield. His mother is supportive and in

constant contact with him.

Enfield Council will have section 117 responsibilities and will provide the appropriate housing and care in
the community.

Simon will also have the support of an allocated care co-ordinator who will regularly monitor his mental

state and concordance with medication. The team will offer Simon psychology assessment and or input;
he will be seen and reviewed by psychiatrist regularly i.e. every 2-3 months or sooner if required. He will

be offered interventions around concordance to medication, identifying triggers and relapse preventions.
A referral to dual diagnosis worker will be offered. Simon will have access to groups such as social

recovery and mental well-being and specialist services for vocational/occupation recovery.
