Amendment 156 would require the CQC to initiate an independent care and treatment review once notified that a person was subject to long-term segregation. The existing process applies to people with a learning disability and autism only, and builds on the existing framework of care (education) and treatment reviews. This amendment would apply to all patients under the Mental Health Act, the majority of whom do not have care (education) and treatment reviews, so we would need to create new infrastructure for mental health patients.
