Description - Decision Making by Mental Health Review Tribunals by Elizabeth Perkins
This study explores the role of tribunal members at each stage of the tribunal hearing. It examines the factors that are taken into account when considering the eligibility of a patient for discharge, and describes the processes by which tribunal members reach their decisions. The study highlights problems inherent in the structure of tribunals and their procedures and suggests that the statutory legal criteria are too complex and difficult for tribunal members to apply to the clinical evidence presented at the tribunal.
