"This guidance has been developed with colleagues from across the mental health sector. It seeks to promote a common understanding of what mental health patients’ legal rights are, where they apply, and what they mean in everyday practice. It should enable consistency in the application of these rights, while also acknowledging the need for clinical judgments and decisions according to the circumstances of individual patients."
