Mental Health Act Commission Annual Report 2009

The Mental Health Act Commission (MHAC) works to safeguard the interests of all people detained under the Mental Health Act 1983. It has a statutory remit to keep under review the powers and duties of the Act relating to detained patients and to meet with detained patients in private. It may also examine any records relating to their detention or treatment. The primary aim of all visiting activity is to ensure that the work done by Commissioners makes a positive difference to the lives of detained patients. The Annual Report is a public document and provides feedback to the Board of the John Munroe Hospital Group (the Provider) and other interested parties on the key issues that have arisen and whether they have been addressed.
