Is any medical practitioner working in a public hospital able to complete an ITO?
A. All public hospitals that have an acute psychiatric unit on campus are proclaimed to be an ‘approved mental health service’ under section 94 of the Act. Where a public hospital is proclaimed as an approved mental health service, any medical practitioner employed by the public hospital (including in the emergency department) who is giving treatment or care to a patient is taken to be employed by the approved mental health service and therefore able to complete an ITO [see sections 12(2) and 12AA(2)].
