The final versions of the revised Code of Practice to the Mental Health Act 1983 as amended by the Mental Health Act 2007 and the associated secondary legislation have now been published. You can find more information on this and current developments on the Act at the Department of Health Website.
Please note that it may take a little time for the secondary legislation to appear on the OPSI website.
Also on the website are:
Guidance on the transitional arrangements for ACUS patients; a summary of the changes to the Hospital Guardianship and Treatment regulations; a summary of changes in the revised Code; and the report of the consultation exercises.
