Summary
When Ms C attended for a psychiatric assessment, the board had concerns about her mental heath and the risks she presented to herself and others. They notified the police about an aspect of this. Ms C complained that the board failed to tell her about the action taken. We reviewed the records, and found that it was clearly documented that the police contact had been discussed with Ms C in advance. Although Ms C did not agree with this, in the absence of any specific evidence to the contrary we did not uphold the complaint.
