Proceeding contribution from Duke of Montrose (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 19 July 2005. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 (Consequential Provisions) Order 2005.


Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 (Consequential Provisions) Order 2005

Do I take from what the Minister has said that it is possible that a patient could be transferred against the wishes of the family? Obviously the family will be informed, but is there any scope for members of the family to appeal if they found that it was inconvenient?
