  Mental Health Bill [HL] - Doctors' involvement in Community Treatment Orders
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  <p>The mental health bill is largely being used to amend the <a href="http://www.statutelaw.gov.uk/legResults.aspx?activeTextDocId=1729080">1983 Mental Health Act</a>. This is therefore an amendment to a bill to amend that Act.</p>
  
  <p>In some cases in the community the responsible clinician may be a community psychiatric nurse or other professional who is not a psychiatrist.</p>
  <p>This amendment would make it mandatory for a doctor - normal either the patient's GP or a psychiatrist to be agree with the decision to place the patient under a Community Treatment Order</p>
  
  <p>The Lords approved the amendment</p>
  
  <p>Their Lordships divided: Contents, 173; Not-Contents, 140.</p>
