(a)the first review of the compulsory treatment order to which the patient is subject; or
(b)a further review of that order.
(2)If, having regard to any views expressed by persons consulted under section 77(3)(c) of this Act for the purpose of the review being carried out, the patient’s responsible medical officer is satisfied—
(a)that the conditions mentioned in paragraphs (a) to (d) of section 64(5) of this Act continue to apply in respect of the patient; and

the responsible medical officer shall comply with the requirements in subsection (3) below.

(b)to assess the needs of the patient for medical treatment;
(c)to consider—
(i)whether the compulsory treatment order should be varied by modifying the measures, or any recorded matter, specified in it; and

(d)to consider any views expressed on the matters mentioned in paragraphs (a) to (c) above by persons consulted under section 77(3)(c) of this Act.
