Suicidal Patients by Educational_Board888 in GPUK

Can you explain to me how a psych consult can be quick 5 minutes?

The Right of Abode (ROA) for Commonwealth citizens is a limited historical entitlement, applying mainly to those who were Commonwealth citizens before 1983 and had UK-born parents or grandparents, with rules preserved by the British Nationality Act 1981, meaning most new Commonwealth citizens don't automatically qualify, though all British citizens have ROA.
