Abstract

In March 2003 the Scottish Parliament passed the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act. The major civil provisions of this new mental health legislation are due to commence in October 2005 and are described here. It is essential that all psychiatrists working in Scotland become familiar with these provisions.
