Mental Health Act Commission National

The Commission's remit is to keep under review the operation of the Mental Health Act 1983 as it relates to detained patients, and to meet with and interview detained patients in private. Additionally the Commission visits mental health service providers regularly in order to check the legality of detention. In addition to the visiting programme, the Commission provides important safeguards to patients who lack capacity or refuse consent to treatment, through the Second Opinion Appointed Doctor Service. In all its work the Commission places an emphasis on equality and human rights.
