Subordinate Legislation
Mental Health Tribunal for Scotland (Appointment of Medical Members) Amendment Regulations 2009(SSI 2009/359)
Good morning and welcome to the 30th meeting in 2009 of the Health and Sport Committee. I remind everyone to switch off mobile phones and other electronic equipment.
No apologies have been received. Joe FitzPatrick has the delights of the Health and Sport Committee this morning; he is substituting for Michael Matheson. I know that he will remember the meeting for ever.
Agenda item 1 is consideration of a negative instrument. The Mental Health Tribunal for Scotland (Appointment of Medical Members) Amendment Regulations 2009 amend the Mental Health Tribunal for Scotland (Appointment of Medical Members) Regulations 2004 so as to allow medical practitioners who are fully registered to be appointed to the tribunal whether or not they hold a licence to practise.
Members have before them a copy of the regulations as well as a note by the clerk. The Subordinate Legislation Committee had no comments to make on the regulations. Do members have any comments to make on them?
No.
Is the committee content not to make any recommendation on the regulations?
Members indicated agreement.
