To ask what this doctor meant

Would you take this to mean they wouldn’t admit you to hospital unless you were already admitted if you pointed out why you were discharged a few weeks back off a 136 and then later put on section 2 from another assessment and ended up having a section 3 assessment an one of the doctors was the same as who did the 136 assessment when askked he said “things change you’re already an inpatient” to me that’s suggesting he would discharge any other time I thought all assessments were meant to be objective not decided beforehand? For those that aren’t aware of the metal health system 136 is a police section.

I would guess that it means you were assessed while on section 2 and the suggestion from your ward doctors was the necessity for section 3. Two independent practitioners carried out an assessment of your capacity to agree to treatment and deemed you as not capacious.
Being discharged from section 136 at some point prior means that, at that time, you had capacity. This has no bearing on your capacity today because "things change".
You can ask the ward to support you in appeal if you disagree.

Do you have a social workr/advocate OP?

It isn’t necessarily about capacity. What was the plan after the release from the 136 OP? Did you have input from the crisis team?

Why was the second assessment called? Were you concordant with meds? Did your mental health decline further?

You will have been assessed by two doctors and an AMHP, who will have decided that admission was the correct course of action and the least restrictive option. It isn’t done lightly. Are you aware of your right to appeal?
