GWH <strong>and</strong> Avon <strong>and</strong> Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership (AWP) have a two way service level<br />

agreement (SLA) signed off. <strong>The</strong> provision of mental health liaison psychiatry has been extended to<br />

include out of hours <strong>and</strong> weekends. <strong>The</strong> provision of older people liaison psychiatry service for<br />

Wiltshire was withdrawn in April 2011 but extended to September 2011 has not been in place<br />

following the extension. <strong>The</strong> reinstatement of this service has been high on the agenda <strong>and</strong> it is<br />

envisage that this will be resolved in the first quarter of 2012.<br />

With regards to section 12 of the Act the Trust continues to have delays in accessing a psychiatrist as<br />

the responsible clinician. <strong>The</strong> Deputy Director of Nursing is having discussions with AWP <strong>and</strong><br />

commissioners in order that the issues are resolved as early as possible.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Mental Health Act Administrator provides a three monthly report on the application of the Mental<br />

Health Act in the Trust. <strong>The</strong> report is considered by the Mental Health Act <strong>and</strong> Mental Capacity Act<br />

From April 2011 – 7 th March 2012, the use of the Mental Health Act was applied on 75 occasions in<br />

regard of 30 patients. <strong>The</strong> 75 occasions relate to 30 inpatients at the <strong>Great</strong> <strong>Western</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong> which<br />

include those patients on Section 17 authorisation of leave from other organisations.<br />
