Hmm, not sure. I though it was not paid if the patient was in-patient in
your hospital.
Just been asked to do a Section 3 on a patient in hospital, which,
apparently, needs 3 sigs
1) Approved doctor (ie.psychiatrist)
2) Another Doctor who knows patient well (ie. GP
3) Social Worker / NOK
I shall check the form tomorrow, in surgery, and report back
exactly what it says.
