Patients who had been detained under s3 (and unrestricted hospital orders) can be given a supervised discharge. This is also called being made "subject to aftercare under supervision". Its aim is to help break the cycle of repeated admissions, relapses, and readmissions of "revolving door patients".

For details of this, please see MHA 1983 s25A.
