(1) Could you please advise if all recommendations made by the Whealy Review in 2018 have been adopted and implemented?

(a) If not, can you advise which recommendations have not and when they are likely to be implemented, or what impediments exist to prevent the implementation? 

Answer -

I'm advised:

All 30 recommendations from the Review of the Mental Health Review Tribunal in Respect of Forensic Patients (2017), also known as 'the Whealy Review', were supported (some in full and some in principle) and have been implemented. The Whealy Review has led to several legislative amendments, and revised policies and procedures.
