This special issue of the Journal of Mental Health Law has been prompted by the recent publication of the Government’s Green Paper Review of the Mental Health Act 1983: Proposals for Reform. The Green Paper aims to "modernise the legal framework within which mental health care is delivered" by proposing a number of reforms to the current regime established under the Mental Health Act 1983.
We have aimed in this edition to highlight some of the key issues arising from both the Green Paper and the Report submitted to the Department of Health by the Scoping Study Review Team, in July 1999.
