Investigation into the care and treatment of Mr E (2024)

(Mr E’s mental illness-schizophrenia- is now reported to be partially treatment resistant, his mobility is poor such that he needs to use a walking frame, and he is blind).

Closure report - mental health in Scotland's prisons in 2021

20 Jul, 2023 | .pdf, 1.6 MB

This report from 2022 reflected on the key messages highlighted in our prison themed visit report of 2011. Ten years on, we wanted to learn about how practice had evolved, whether the intended improvements linked to the transfer of health care responsibility from the Scottish Prison Service (SPS) to NHS Scotland had had a meaningful impact and we aimed to highlight and respond to any other issues identified and raised with us. It was also necessary to understand the unprecedented impact of the Covid-19 global pandemic and its effect on prisoners and their care and treatment in custody.

Second opinion request form

10 Nov, 2022 | .pdf, 168.5 KB

Download and open this form in Acrobat. Do not open this form in Microsoft Edge, or it will not work properly.

Please note that from 1 August 2020, the Commission will only accept second opinion requests for a Designated Medical Practitioner (DMP) visit under the Mental Health Act (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003  and Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 via a completed second opinion form (SOP1). Telephone requests for Mental Health Act second opinion requests will not be accepted.

Please note that this is a new version of SOP1 form (v7.1). The old version (v7.0) will no longer be accepted. Please delete any old versions that you might have saved.

A T3B certificate for treatment becomes due two months after any medication for mental disorder is given during the current detention episode (which includes an Emergency Detention Certificate and Short Term Detention Certificate if these apply). We would like to receive the SOP1 form to request for a DMP visit (for first T3B) at least 14 days before the T3B is due. This will give us time to arrange the DMP visit. We can accept the SOP1 up to 21 days before the T3B is due.

For renewal of Compulsory Treatment Order T3Bs, please email the SOP1 form to us as soon as possible (ideally 6-8 weeks before the expiry of the current T3B), so that we have more time to arrange a DMP visit.

If a translator is needed, this will need to be arranged by the Responsible Medical Officer or the treating team, and for them to co-ordinate the visit with the DMP.

Please email the completed SOP1 form to the Commission at: mwc.2ndopinionrequests@nhs.scot

Requests for second opinions under s.48 and s.50 of the Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000 can still be made via the Commission’s advice line or emailed to mwc.2ndopinionrequests@nhs.scot

This form has a separate document with instructions on use.

Response to learning disability and autism in MHA consultation

5 Nov, 2019 | .pdf, 120.8 KB

We generally support the approach set out in section 1.2 of the Final Consultation document. We agree that we need to ensure that the law complies with the European Convention on Human Rights, and that Scotland should live up to the commitment to implement the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. How this can be done is not simple, and it is important to proceed in a way which is conceptually clear, starts from where we currently are, and develops practical solutions.
