Recommendations
Recommendations (the sheriff's words)When young people such as Niamh attend Accident and Emergency departments of hospitals in Scotland presenting with histories suggesting serious self-harm, or suggestive of a suicide attempt there must be value in having a psychiatric/psychological assessment carried out as near to the time of presentation as possible. At present, that option is not available automatically. Consideration should be given to making it so.
Under section 28 of the 2016 Act, each recipient of a recommendation must respond within 8 weeks. The 8-week window is counted from the publication date. See how we track responses.
