The Bill should be amended to ensure that conditions depriving a restricted patient of their liberty are reviewed by the Mental Health Tribunal promptly and regularly In particular, the Secretary of State should refer the restricted patient’s case to the tribunal after 6 months (unless the case has already been considered) and every restricted patient subject to deprivation of liberty conditions should have their case reviewed every 12 months. 57 A proposed amendment to achieve this is set out in the Appendix. The Government must also ensure that full and detailed guidance is issued on the use of conditions that amount to a deprivation of liberty. (Recommendation, Paragraph 156) 58
