Mental Health Act Forms
- Form 1: F42
- Assessment form (good for 72 hours since the time [not date] the form was
issued)
- Always accompanied by form 42 (notifying the patient that they are being put on
a form 1)
- Can be discontinued anytime and put on another form (such as form 3)
- If the patient did not receive a form 42, they cannot be put on form 1
- If the patient just leaves when they are still under the 72 hours, the police will be
involved
- Form 2
- Justice of peace form
- Relatives can get this form from justice of peace to be able to bring the patient to
the hospital so the doctor can make assessments (form 1) and decide what to do
- Brought in by justice of peace
- Form 3: F30
- After form 1, the patient can be put on form 3
- Form is good for 14 days (from the DATE, not time)
- A patient who is under form 1, cannot be given a form 3
- Form 30 notifies the patient that they are being put on form 3
- Can be put on this form if they fall under any of the 3 criteria for certification (see
below)
- Form 4: F30
- Before form 3 expires, the doctor can issue a form 4
- This form is good for 1 month
- Form 30 notifies the patient that they are being put on form 4
- The right advisor is assigned (automatically)
- When the patient is getting a form 30, they can disagree and they can
advocate/appeal for themself
- Form 4 can have a second renewal (for 2 months) – goes by MONTHS not days
- Form 4 can then have a third renewal (for 3 months) – goes by MONTHS not
days
- Example: if the patient is put on the form on January 30, then the form
would expire February 27 (not February 28, always one day before)
- Form 4 can have a fourth renewal (for 3 months) – from here it’s always three
months
- After the third renewal of the form, they have to undergo the review board since
they will be hospitalized for a long time and they need an unbiased decision
- Form 5: F30
- Within 2 weeks, the patient is getting better, taking their medication and do not
meet the form 3 criteria
- This means that the form 3 or 4 is getting discontinued

, WEEK 2

- Form 10: psych to psych
- Transferring a patient from one psychiatric hospital to another
- Some hospitals cannot handle the patient so they need to be transferred
- The form will go with them (this ensures that the form continues in the other
hospital)
- Form 11: psych to medical
- Transferring from a psychiatric hospital to a medical hospital
- Form 9
- Notifying the police that the patient needs to return to the hospital

the patient is free
- Form 33
