9.Section 3 imposes a one-off duty on the Scottish Ministers to review the operation of the mental health moratorium. As soon as reasonably practicable after the end of the review period (the period of 5 years beginning with the day on which the first regulations under section 1 come into force), the Scottish Ministers must undertake a review of the operation of the moratorium established under section 1, and prepare a report on that review. As soon as reasonably practicable after preparing the report, the Scottish Ministers must publish the report and lay the report before the Scottish Parliament.
