Section 117 discharge

Hello, my husband is in full time care and is under section 117. What is the likelihood of him being discharged from this in the future?

Probably low

'Guidance says that even if you are well settled in the community, aftercare may still continue to prevent you from becoming ill again or from getting worse.'

@Janxm - MIL was on section 117 funding for almost 3 years until she died.
MIL was assessed yearly by the mental health team and deemed to still need it
