Section II: Object
Regional Mental Health Act Approval Panels.
Under section 12(2) of the Mental Health Act 1983 (‘the MHA’) the Secretary of State for Health approves, for the purposes of that section, registered medical practitioners who have ‘special experience in the diagnosis or treatment of mental disorder’(‘s12 doctors’). Additionally, under section 145(1) of the MHA, the Secretary of State is to approve persons to act as ‘an approved clinician for the purposes of the Act’ (‘Approved Clinicians’). These functions are collectively referred to as ‘the Approval functions’. The Approval functions have been vested in the Secretary of State since the enactment of the MHA, but had been delegated by virtue of regulations made under the National Health Service Act 1977 and directions issued under the National Health Service Act 2006. Following a procurement the Secretary of State contracted with four approving bodies. The contracts end on 31.3.2017, the requirement is for new contracts for the Approval functions for between two to three years.
