This Act, effective from 9 March 1992, contains amendments to the Mental Health (Scotland) Act 1984. It provides an extension to 28-day short term detention, requires sheriffs to hear applications for full detention within five days of their submission and authorises detention of patients until the outcome of such an application is known.
