The Scottish Government has no plans to make it compulsory to register children with a dentist. We have put in place a series of arrangements, via Health visitors and Childsmile dental health support workers, to encourage the registration of children with an NHS dentist.

As at March 2016, 93.7% of children in Scotland are registered with an NHS dentist.

The Mental Health (Care & Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 specifies that a Compulsory Treatment Order (CTO) can only be granted by the Mental Health Tribunal Scotland (MHTS) and once an application has been received by a Mental Health Officer.

A CTO will expire after 6 months if it is not renewed, however a Responsible Medical Officer (RMO) can renew the order without variation and without referring it to MHTS. Renewal is for a period of 6 months and thereafter for periods of more than 12 months. Where a CTO has not been referred to MHTS, it must be reviewed by MHTS every 2 years.

On 29 July 2016 we published an engagement paper on our proposed framework and priorities to transform mental health in Scotland. The engagement paper states that, in addition to transforming mental health, progress on the priorities set out in the paper will also contribute to reducing death by suicide, and that we will reflect this in the final Mental Health Strategy. We will also build on these priorities in a separate Suicide Prevention Strategy which we will publish in 2017.
