The Regulations make provision in connection with escorted mental health patients who visit Scotland while on leave of absence under the law of another European Union member State.
Specifically, regulation 3 amends the Mental Health (Cross-border Visits) (Scotland) Regulations 2008 so that they apply to such patients. In their unamended form, the 2008 Regulations applied only to patients visiting Scotland while on leave of absence under the law of England and Wales, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man or any of the Channel Islands.
The 2008 Regulations apply (with modifications) sections 301 to 303 of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 to visiting patients. Those sections set out what can happen should a patient on leave of absence fail to comply with any conditions or requirements imposed.
2003 asp 13. Section 309A is inserted by the Adult Support and Protection (Scotland) Act 2007 (asp 10), section 72; it is amended by the Mental Health (Scotland) Act 2015 (asp 9), section 32.
Section 326(4) is relevantly amended by the Adult Support and Protection (Scotland) Act 2007, section 72; and is modified by the Interpretation and Legislative Reform (Scotland) Act 2010 (asp 10), schedule 3, paragraph 5.
