In 1960, a hospital receives two messages from the same adult.
| Day | Message |
|---|---|
| Monday | “I would like to enter hospital for treatment, but I have not been certified.” |
| Friday | “I now want to return home.” |
The admissions team asks whether it can accept the adult on Monday. It also asks what it should do if the adult is accepted and then asks to leave on Friday.
Using your knowledge of the 1959 Mental Health Act, explain the decisions the admissions team should make.
