Applications to the Tribunal
42 Applications to the Tribunal
Any person may apply to the Tribunal for consent to the carrying out of medical or dental treatment on a patient to whom this Part applies.
Such an application shall specify—
the grounds on which it is alleged that the patient is a patient to whom this Part applies,
the particular condition of the patient that requires treatment,
the alternative courses of treatment that are available in relation to that condition,
the general nature and effect of each of those courses of treatment,
the nature and degree of the significant risks (if any) associated with each of those courses of treatment, and
the reasons for which it is proposed that any particular course of treatment should be carried out.
Whenever such an application is made for consent to the carrying out of medical or dental treatment and the treatment cannot be carried out without that consent, the Tribunal may, by order—
direct the person who is to carry out the treatment not to start the treatment, or
if the treatment has already started—direct the person who is carrying out the treatment to discontinue it,
until the Tribunal has determined the application.
