This is the second of two articles examining the Mental Health Act 2001, the main piece of mental health legislation in the Republic of Ireland. The first article, published in the previous edition of the journal, dealt with the new admission, detention, leave and transfer provisions2. This concluding article examines the new safeguards: the Mental Health Commission and the new tribunal and consent to treatment procedures.
