starts with a
better question.

Ask for a responsible role, an actual process and a dated reply. You can do that without sharing your diagnosis or medical records.

Subject: Who owns the handoff after psychiatric emergency discharge?

Dear [Representative name],

I am a resident of [Community / riding].

Who is responsible for an adult discharged home from psychiatric emergency care until a receiving service accepts their referral?

Please request a written answer that:

1. Identifies the role responsible for coordinating this transition.
2. Explains how receipt and acceptance of a referral are confirmed.
3. Describes what happens if a referral is rejected, contact fails or short term care ends before another service accepts the person.
4. Explains whether actual treatment wait times and unresolved referrals are publicly reported.
5. Responds to a bounded hospital pilot with a named transition owner, a defined follow up process and monthly aggregate results.
6. Addresses what happens when the person has no primary care provider or an active bridging pathway.

If this responsibility belongs elsewhere, please identify the specific office and ask it to provide the answer, rather than passing along a general contact page.

If no published policy assigns this role, please state that directly and identify who can make the policy decision.

Please provide a date by which I can expect a substantive reply.
