I move amendment No. 250:

In page 65, between lines 19 and 20, to insert the following:“(3) Subject to subsection (4)*, nothing in section 53 shall be construed as authorising an informal decision-maker to take an action or authorise the taking of an action in respect of a relevant person which involves that person being admitted to or detained in a mental health service and/or the administration of medicine for the treatment of mental illness save in accordance with the Mental Health Act 2001.”.
