There was mention of people with mental health disorders and dual diagnoses presenting to the Rutland Centre. We find there is a big gap in this respect all the time. People have mental health and addiction issues and are falling through the cracks. If there are any cracks in services, people tend to fall through them and it is just not good enough.

Deputy Gould and I had a Bill advocating a "no wrong door" policy. This means that if somebody presented to an addiction or mental health service, he or she would get a service at that point and there would be a shared care plan across both involved organisations. Would that work?
