Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
These Regulations amend the Mental Health (Northern Ireland) Order 1986 as a consequence of the delegation, by virtue of an authorisation under Article 3(1) of the Health and Personal Social Services (Northern Ireland) Order 1994 (S.I. 1994/429 (N.I. 2) (the “1994 Order”), of certain Health and Social Services Board functions to Health and Social Services trusts.
The amendments will ensure that the provisions of the Mental Health (Northern Ireland) Order 1986 relating to—
(a)the taking into custody of patients who are absent without leave; and
(b)consent to treatment,
apply also to patients detained, pending application for assessment, in a hospital managed by an HSS trust which has not had functions delegated to it under the 1994 Order, in the same way as they apply to patients detained in a hospital managed by an authorised HSS trust.
