Explanatory note

Reproduced verbatim from the instrument as published on legislation.gov.uk (Crown Copyright, Open Government Licence v3.0). The note is prepared by the responsible government department and is not part of the instrument itself.

These Regulations replace the Form 6 (medical report) in the Mental Capacity (Deprivation of Liberty) (No. 2) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2019 with a new Form 6.

The new Form 6 (medical report) inserts a new section (section 7) which is a division of the original section 6 to ensure information on the risks, and the proportionality of the risks, is adequately captured on the Form.
