The Government's care in the community policy has come under attack after a mental patient lay dead in his flat for six weeks. Malcolm McDuff, 50, was being cared for Forest Healthcare Trust, responsible for discharged mental patients, but a nurse sent to administer his monthly injections said she had not seen him since December. Police found Mr McDuff after breaking into his home in Queens Road, Walthamstow, east London.
