The Department of Health has published the draft revised Mental Health Act 1983 Code of Practice and draft secondary legislation under the Mental Health Act 2007 (the 2007 Act). The Code will come into force in October 2008. The Code provides guidance to practitioners and clinicians on how they should proceed when undertaking duties under the Act. It should also be considered by others working in health and social services. The secondary legislation mainly gives effect to the changes to the 1983 Act which are being introduced under the 2007 Act in October 2008 (or, in the case of independent mental health advocacy, as soon as practicable thereafter).
