Placement on the list is merely an acknowledgement that the individual is suitable for placement at a particular unit. Position in the list does not indicate when the person will be chosen for placement. A decision to accept a person on the list for a trial placement will be a made after seeking the views of the referring trust and all other relevant organisations and persons. Decisions will be made on a case by case basis. Lists are reviewed annually. Any major changes in need must be disclosed.
