Mental health affects as many as 1 in 4 people and in severe cases can result in hospital admission under the Mental Health Act, more commonly known as "being sectioned".

Each year more than 250,000 people are admitted to psychiatric hospitals.

As a sectioned patient you have a legal right to appeal to the Mental Health Review Tribunal for your discharge.

At Tilly Bailey & Irvine we have an experienced Specialist Mental Health Lawyer who is a member of the Law Society's Mental Health Review Tribunal Panel.

We can represent you at your Tribunal or merely provide advice and assistance regarding your stay in hospital and the treatment you are receiving.

We can travel to Hospitals in the North East/North Yorkshire areas.
