LAMI-72 - Ensure identified GP for children with deliberate harm concerns discharged from hospital.

2 - Patient-focused correspondence
We recommend that it should be standard practice that consultants in both the NHS and the independent sector should write to patients, outlining their condition and treatment, in simple language, and copy this letter to the patient's GP, rather than writing to the GP and sending a copy to the patient.
