The 1986 Mental Health (Northern Ireland) Order provides the legal framework in Northern Ireland for compulsory admission and treatment of patients suffering from mental illness. GPs can be involved in Mental Health Order assessments in different settings.Compulsory admission for assessment of a patient can only occur when: they are suffering from a mental disorder of a nature or degree that warrants detention in hospital for assessment (or for assessment followed by medical treatment); and failure to detain the patient would create a substantial likelihood of serious physical harm to themselves or to other persons.
