Official Report: Minutes of Evidence

The Chairperson (Mr Gildernew): SR 2020/142 is a related reversal of coronavirus measures. It varied from six months to three months the length of the period triggering a requirement for a second opinion for the continued administration of medicine to detain patients.

If members have no further issues that they wish to raise in connection with this statutory rule, I ask them to agree formally that the Committee for Health has considered SR 2020/142, the Mental Health (1986 Order) (Amendment No. 2) Order (NI) 2020, and, subject to the report of the Examiner of Statutory Rules, has no objection to the rule.
