107.Chapter 1 of Part 7 of the 2003 Act is concerned with the application for and making of compulsory treatment orders (CTOs). Schedule 3 to the 2003 Act makes a number of modifications to Chapter 1 of Part 7 insofar as it applies to patients who become subject to a CTO whilst already subject to a HD or TTD.
108.Section 35(3) adds a new paragraph to schedule 3, with the result that when a patient is subject to a HD or a TTD, and an application is made for a CTO, notice of the application requires to be given to the Scottish Ministers, in addition to the existing requirement to give notice to the patient, the patient’s named person and the Commission.
