My own experience of attempting to persuade both forensic and non-forensic mental health teams to take people under MHTRs is almost universally met with resistance, poor understanding of the framework and its uses, and a preference to "let the CJS deal with it and if they want to engage they can". The Community Mental Health Framework for Adults and Older Adults (2019)) is underpinning structural reorganisation of non-forensic community mental health services, whereby the community mental health team model is transforming to primary care network-embedded community teams with a much different remit in terms of long-term follow-up, being focused on interventions to improve quality of life and integration within services. The editorial by Taylor et al on the Sentencing Guidelines (2020) is welcome and rightly emphasises the availability of the Mental Health Treatment Requirement (MHTR) as an underutilised disposal for those whose culpability is diminished but not abolished by mental disorder, and whose longer-term mental health and recidivistic outcomes could be improved by a period of structured community supervision and treatment.
