Schedule 7, page 92, line 39, after paragraph 10 insert—

“Constitution and proceedings of the Mental Health Review Tribunal for Wales

10A(1) Sub-paragraph (2) applies if the President of the Mental Health Review

Tribunal for Wales (“the Tribunal”), or another member of the Tribunal

appointed by the President for the purpose referred to in paragraph 4 of

Schedule 2 to the 1983 Act, considers that it is impractical or would involve

undesirable delay for the Tribunal to be constituted, for the purposes of any

proceedings or class or group of proceedings under the 1983 Act, by at least

three members as provided for in that paragraph.

(2) The President, or that other member, may instead appoint to constitute the

Tribunal, for the purposes of those proceedings or that class or group of

proceedings—

(a) one of the legal members of the Tribunal, or

(b) one of the legal members of the Tribunal and one other member who

is not a legal member.

(3) Where the Tribunal is constituted by one or two members under sub-paragraph

(2)(a) or (b), section 65(3) has effect as if the reference to any three or more of

its members were a reference to that one member or those two members (as the

case may be).

(4) Paragraph 6 of Schedule 2 to the 1983 Act does not apply where the Tribunal

is constituted by one or two members under sub-paragraph (2)(a) or (b).

If the Tribunal is constituted by two members, the legal member is to be the

chairman.

(5) Where the Tribunal is constituted by a single member under sub-paragraph

(2)(a), in rule 11(2) of the Mental Health Review Tribunal for Wales Rules

2008 (S.I. 2008/2705) (“the 2008 Rules”), the reference to the chairman is to

be read as a reference to that member.

(6) Where the Tribunal is constituted under sub-paragraph (2) without a medical

member, rule 20(1) and (2) of the 2008 Rules does not apply.

10B(1) The Mental Health Review Tribunal for Wales Rules 2008 (“the 2008 Rules”)

have effect subject to this paragraph.

(2) The Tribunal may determine an application or reference without a hearing if it

considers that—

(a) holding a hearing is impractical or would involve undesirable delay,

(b) having regard to the nature of the issues raised in the case, sufficient

evidence is available to enable it to come to a decision without a

hearing, and

(c) to dispense with a hearing would not be detrimental to the health of the

patient.

(3) The Tribunal must, as soon as reasonably practicable, give notice to each party

of—

(a) its decision to dispense with a hearing under sub-paragraph (2), and

(b) the earliest time at which it might determine the application or

reference in accordance with that sub-paragraph (which must be such

as to afford the parties reasonable notice).

(4) Where an application or reference is to be determined in accordance with sub-

paragraph (2)—

(a) in rules 4, 15 and 20 of the 2008 Rules, references to a hearing (or its

commencement) are to be read as references to the time notified under
