The Mental Health (Hospital, Guardianship and Consent to Treatment) Amendment Regulations 1993
These Regulations amend the Mental Health (Hospital, Guardianship and Consent to Treatment) Regulations 1983 by adding references, in Form 13 of Schedule 1, to two additional parts of the register of qualified nurses, midwives and health visitors, namely Parts 13 and 14. Nurses registered in those Parts are prescribed ( see the Mental Health (Nurses) Amendment Order 1993, S.I. 1993/2155), for the purposes of section 5(4) of the Mental Health Act 1983, as nurses on the basis of whose written record a patient who is receiving treatment for a mental disorder as an in–patient in hospital may be detained for up to 6 hours.
