(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Mental Health (Hospital, Guardianship, Community Treatment and Consent to Treatment) (Wales) Regulations 2008 (S.I. 2008/2439 (W.212)) (“the 2008 Regulations”).
Section 299 of the Health and Social Care Act 2012 (certificate of consent of community patients to treatment) amended sections 64C and 64E of the Mental Health Act 1983 to vary the certificate requirement where the patient has capacity to consent to the treatment and has consented. Regulation 2(2) amends regulation 40 of the 2008 Regulations to reflect this and regulation 2(3) makes amendments to forms in the Schedule to the 2008 Regulations and inserts a new form, Form CO 8.
The Welsh Ministers' Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
1983 c. 20. Section 64H was inserted by section 35(1) of the Mental Health Act 2007 (2007 c. 12) and was amended by section 299 of the Health and Social Care Act 2012 (2012 c. 7).
