Progress of the proposed Measure on Mental Health.
The proposed Measure places duties on Local Health Boards and local authorities in Wales in relation to assessment of mental health and treatment of mental disorder. It also makes provision in relation to independent mental health advocacy for qualifying patients – those are persons subject to the compulsory powers of the Mental Health Act 1983, and persons receiving treatment in hospital (suffering with a mental disorder).
