Compulsory treatment in the community has engendered considerable differences in opinion, and the recent rejection of a supervision order by a Parliamentary Committee. The arguments were recently debated, at a Section meeting of the College. More detailed research and a wider discussion within the College, and between the College and other interested parties, is needed. Refining these issues, whatever the legislative outcomes, should lead to improvements in community care.
