Who We Are and What We Do

The Commission regulates in-patient mental health services and persons providing decision-making supports and provides a Decision Support Service for persons with capacity difficulties. We ensure that all persons involuntarily detained in approved centres are independently reviewed by a Mental Health Tribunal.  The Commission sets standards for high quality and good
practices in mental health and decision support services.
