Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend form 13 in the Mental Health (Hospital, Guardianship and Consent to Treatment) Regulations 1983, which records compulsory detention of a patient receiving treatment for mental disorder by a nurse, under section 5(4) of the Mental Health Act 1983. The amendments reflect a change to the name by which “mental handicap nursing” is known, to “learning disabilities nursing”, and a consequent change to the description of certain nurses in the register of qualified nurses, midwives and health visitors, under the Nurses, Midwives and Health Visitors (Miscellaneous Amendments) Order 1998. They also reflect an extension of the categories of nurse who are prescribed for the purposes of section 5(4), under the Mental Health (Nurses) Order 1998.
These Regulations impose no costs on business.
