Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Mental Health (Safety and Security) (Scotland) Regulations 2005 (“the principal Regulations”) to add the Rowanbank Unit, 133C Balornock Road, Glasgow to the list of institutions specified in regulation 2(2)(a) of those Regulations (regulation 2).
The principal Regulations provide for “specified persons”, who may be made subject to measures to protect the safety and security of themselves and others. A person is only a “specified person” if certain conditions exist, one of which is that the person is detained in a state hospital or other place specified in regulation 2(2)(a) of the principal Regulations.
