The Responsible Medical Officer and Mental Health Review Tribunals
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Extract
The RMO who is well informed about his patient, and conversant with the law in respect of the particular problems that the case presents, has little to fear from Tribunal proceedings. Nevertheless to have to write reports and insert, into a busy timetable, often at short notice, a sometimes lengthy Tribunal is an irritation which can have an adverse effect on both knowledge of the case and on objectivity.
