Information

Definitions of terms etc. Will divide into sections once there are enough added.

To add: e.g. Mental illness, Schizophrenia, Mental Health Act Administrator, etc etc

Note that quite a lot of the definitions below will probably be incorporated into the commentary on the legislation instead, once I get round to it. (e.g. the entry on restricted patients could be moved to the commentary on s41).

Mental Health Review Tribunal

Hospital Managers' Hearing

Responsible Medical Officer

Nearest Relative
