(a)the first review of the relevant compulsion 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 139(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 section 139(4) 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 compulsion order should be varied by modifying the measures specified in it;
(ii)if the order should be varied, what modification is appropriate; and
(d)to consider any views expressed on the matters mentioned in paragraphs (a) to (c) above by persons consulted under section 139(3)(c) of this Act.
