Not reasonably practicable
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explain a decision of the Court of Appeal about the duty an Approved Mental Health Professional (AMHP) will sometimes have to consult a patient's nearest relative, and to set that decision in the context of an earlier one. Design/methodology/approach – Each decision is examined in detail and one is compared with the other. Reference is made to the Mental Health Act 1983 Code of Practice. Findings – It wil…
You are not, any of you, my mother
Purpose – This paper aims to consider the recent consultation on a new safeguarding power of entry and seeks to provide a critique of the government's conclusions in that regard. Design/methodology/approach – The paper analyses the report of the consultation exercise and sets it against those of earlier, comparable ones. Findings – The government's conclusions were supported by only a minority of respondents. A majority of respondents, and an ove…

The deprivation of liberty safeguards (DoLS) and adult safeguarding
Purpose This paper seeks to consider the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) and, in particular, the extent to which the functions of supervisory bodies can, or should be, performed as part of wider “safeguarding” responsibilities. Design/methodology/approach The paper reports the views of practitioners, given in response to comments made by the Care Quality Commission. Findings Some practitioners believe that DoLS and safeguarding functions…
Objection, purpose and normality
Purpose This paper's aim is to consider three ways in which, recently, the English courts have sought to define deprivation of liberty (and, maybe, limit the effect of safeguards against it). Design/methodology/approach Two significant decisions of the Court of Appeal were considered, together with one each of the House of Lords and the European Court of Human Rights. Consideration was also given to the context of those decisions, as disclosed in…
The strange deaths of section 47
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the Law Commission's recommendations concerning the power of removal contained in section 47 of the National Assistance Act 1948. That provision applies to certain people who are seriously ill, living in squalor, or not receiving proper care and it enables them to be taken to hospital or a care home and detained there. Design/methodology/approach The Law Commission's final report on adult social ca…
The approved mental health professional and the nearest relative
A patient may be detained under section 3 of the Mental Health Act 1983 (HM Government, 1983) only if his nearest relative does not object. Whether an objection has been made will be a question for the approved mental health professional (AMHP) concerned, but their answer will have to be a reasonable one. If the belief of the AMHP is not reasonable, a patient's section 3 admission will be unlawful. That does not mean, however, that the AMHP's con…
The nearest relative
The nearest relative of a patient detained under the Mental Health Act 1983 (HM Government, 1983) has an important role to play. S/he might even object to detention, and in some circumstances, any such objection will have to be respected and the patient cannot lawfully be detained. A recent High Court case examined what it means to object to detention. The judge said that although a nearest relative might be believed not to have objected, detenti…

Not just in the Mental Capacity Act
Vulnerable adults have recently gained greater protection. A lot of attention has focused on the effect of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA) and the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006, but many significant provisions can be found elsewhere. It may be that those provisions, and the possibilities they introduce, are not fully understood by those who could make the best use of them. That would be unfortunate. Where it enjoys powers for adult p…

Aetiological heterogeneity of Alzheimer's disease
Editor,—It has regularly been noted that familial cases of Alzheimer's disease (AD) tend to be of relatively early onset. This implies that there must be at least one further aetiological class, comprising sporadic cases that share some common exposure, and that tend to develop later in life than the familial cases. It can now be reported that cases of AD attributable to residence in areas where the public water supply has a relatively high conte…
Some Cases from the Defamation Jurisdiction of the Archdeaconry of Richmond
Unusually, the archdeaconry of Richmond had two consistory courts, one in Chester and one in Richmond. This may well be the first study to be based upon the Richmond records. The mid-sixteenth century ‘explosion’ in the ecclesiastical defamation workload which other commentators have identified was being felt later, possibly by as much as a century, in Richmond than anywhere else in the country. The Richmond records provide the first firm evidenc…

On Edwards' criterion of seasonality and a non-parametric alternative
There are a few conditions?hay fever will serve as an example?for which it has always been possible to assert, without fear of contradiction, that their pattern of occurrence was a seasonal one. However, when it is not subjectively clear that a seasonal pattern exists, considerable difficulty can be experienced. Applied to data in the form of monthly frequencies of new cases, the common x2 test with 11 degrees of freedom will not be sensitive to …

Oxford Child Health Survey
In the majority of children the two complementary processes of growthf and skeletal maturationf are so well balanced that they tend to be thought of as two aspects of a single process. This view is partly justified by the fact that the two processes start together and must stop together, since there can be no further increase in height once the epiphyses of the long bones have closed. Yet growth and maturation can proceed quite independently, as …
Observations on 1,078 Perinatal Deaths
A cause of death is the morbid condition or other disease process, abnormality, or injury leading directly or indirectly to death ... From the standpoint of the prevention of deaths it is important to cut the chain of events or institute the cure at some point. The most effective public health objective, of course, is to prevent the precipitating cause from operating. For this purpose the most useful single statistic is that relating to the under…
Social Medicine Studies based on Civilian Medical Board Records
By the regular publication of statistics based on Census data and death certificates the General Register Office has kept the United Kingdom so well informed that even the man in the street is aware when mortality changes of a disquieting or reassuring nature have occurred. But nowadays, when disease more often causes loss of working efficiency than premature death, a more sensitive instrument than mortality statistics is needed to measure the pu…
Social Medicine Studies based on Civilian Medical Board Records
In a large sample of wartime Civilian Medical Board (C.M.B. passim) records it was found that 1 • 2 per cent, of the men examined were unfit for military service because of a peptic ulcer, and a fur0*25 per cent, because of other digestive disorders (Stewart, Webb, and Hewitt, 1955a). In addition to this loss of manpower at the screening stage there was a further heavy loss from the same causes among men accepted for military service : peptic ulc…

Some Features of Leukaemia Mortality
During 1953 there were just over forty deaths per week from leukaemia in England and Wales. This was, of course, a small proportion of the total number of deaths, but the years of potential life lost by death from leukaemia were disproportionately great: greater, for example (reckoning life to the Grande Valley
Social Medicine Studies based on Civilian Medical Board Records
In a recent symposium on "Modem Trends in Dermatology", first place was given to a paper stressing the relevance of ecological factors to diseases of the skin The conviction that such factors are important may nowadays be widespread, but there is still no statistical foundation for the belief. Mortality from caticer of the skin has been widely studied, but very little information is available concerning the prevalence of the less serious diseases…
Social Medicine Studies based on Civilian Medical Board Records
There were several reasons why it seemed appropriate to include in a study of the wartime records of Civilian Medical Boards a detailed analysis of varicose veins, varicocoeles, and haemorrhoids. These three types of abnormally distended veins are known to be common, but exactly how common they are and who is most likely to be affected are questions which have never been satisfactorily answered. Mild cases need no treatment, severe cases are noto…
Mortality in the London Boroughs, 1950--52, with Special Reference to Respiratory Disease
This paper is based on a study of mortality in the Administrative County of London in the three years immediately surrounding the most recent Census, during which period just over 120,000 London resi dents died. For some of the rarer causes of death it would have been desirable to study a longer period, but there were several reasons for not attempting this. In the first place there was the risk of error in local population figures at intervals o…

Vagaries of Local Mortality Rates under the 1953-54 Rules for Transfer of Deaths
We have quantified intraepithelial lymphocytes in the same biopsy series (21 healthy controls, 14 untreated coeliacs, 15 treated coeliacs, five non-coeliac patients with an abnormal jejunal mucosa) both as counts/100 epithelial cells and using as reference value a fixed area of muscularis mucosae. As expected, the number of intraepithelial lymphocytes/100 epithelial cells was significantly higher in untreated and treated coeliacs than in healthy …

Conceptual complexity, environment complexity, communication salience and attitude change
Hypotheses derived from the Harvey, Hunt and Schroder personality organization system were tested in an attitude change situation. Female subjects selected for extremeness of conceptual structure and negative attitude toward women's equality were subjected to a sensory deprivation, a normal control or an overstimulation environment in which a high salience (HS) or a low salience (LS) communication was presented. The main prediction of a three‐way…
Prepaid Group Practice in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario
One year's utilization of medical and hospital services by some 3,300 Canadian steelworkers and their families who belonged to a prepaid group practice plan has been compared with utilization by the families of fellow members of the same union Local whose care was provided by independently practicing physicians. Although the group practice had no financial incentive to economize on inpatient care, its rate of hospital utilization was lower by abo…
