The Royal College of Psychiatrists recommends the formation of a Mental Health Commission or Commissions. These will be independent bodies to look after the welfare of individual mentally disordered persons. They may be the appropriate bodies to deal with matters of individual patient care which are not the responsibility of other bodies, such as the Health Advisory Service, which deals with hospitals and some community services, Mental Health Review Tribunal's which are concerned with detained patients only, the National Development Team which deals with the mentally handicapped and the Court of Protection which is concerned with the administration of patients' affairs and property.
