5.0 - Information about Mental Health Review Tribunals
The Tribunal is an independent body established under the Mental Health Act 2000 to protect the rights of people receiving involuntary treatment for mental illness.
It provides an independent review, and makes decisions about whether the involuntary treatment will continue or not. It also decides whether the treatment will be given in hospital or in the community. In making these decisions, the Tribunal must balance the rights of the patient with the rights of others and the protection of the community.
