England and Wales
Where a medical practitioner carries out a medical examination of any person with a view to an application for his admission to hospital for assessment or treatment being made under Part 2 of the Mental Health Act 1983 (c. 20) the Welsh Ministers must pay to that medical practitioner—
reasonable remuneration in respect of that examination and in respect of any recommendation or report made by him with regard to the person examined, and
the amount of any expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with the examination or the making of any such recommendation or report.
No payment may be made under this section to a medical practitioner—
in respect of an examination carried out in the provision of primary medical services for that person, or
This section applies only in a case where it is intended, when the medical examination of the person in question is carried out, that if he is admitted to hospital in pursuance of an application mentioned in subsection (1), the whole cost of his maintenance and treatment will be defrayed out of moneys provided by Parliament.
