However, NHS England has advised that work is currently underway with the 15 Adult Secure Provider Collaboratives across England to speed up the safe and timely transfer of appropriately assessed people from prison.

My colleague, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Women's Health and Mental Health, will be meeting with her Ministerial counterparts in the Ministry of Justice in due course to discuss matters relating to offender health and how our departments can work together.</p> answering member constituency Aberafan Maesteg answering member printed Stephen Kinnock question first answered 02/08/2024 08:58:50 answering member 4359 label Biography information for Stephen Kinnock previous answer version 300 answering member constituency Aberafan Maesteg answering member printed Stephen Kinnock answering member 4359 label Biography information for Stephen Kinnock

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/04/2024 answer text <p>The second opinion appointed doctor (SOAD) service safeguards the rights of patients subject to the Mental Health Act in specific circumstances. A SOAD is an independent doctor appointed by the Care Quality Commission, who gives a second opinion on whether certain types of medical treatment for a mental disorder should be given without the patient’s consent. SOADs are consulted in certain circumstances when a patient refuses treatment, or is too ill or otherwise incapable of giving consent. Outside of these specific circumstances, if an individual disagrees with their doctor about a mental health diagnosis or treatment, they can ask for a second opinion, although there is no legal right to one.</p><p>Good Medical Practice, from the General Medical Council (GMC), sets out the standards of care and behaviour expected of all medical doctors practising in the United Kingdom. It states that doctors must recognise a patient’s right to choose whether to accept their advice, and respect a patient’s right to seek a second opinion. The GMC is an independent regulator, and is responsible for operational maters including any assessment of its policies and guidance. Managing second opinion requests is the responsibility of local National Health Service organisations.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 29/04/2024 16:28:27 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
