Doncaster pay a higher fee for MHA's than
other Local Authorities and given the review of process and
reduction in recent allocations it is an opportunity to review the
fees paid and establish if some savings could be
achieved.
DMBC currently pay £180 for independent
Mental Health Act Assessments (MHA's) which is a legal requirement
under the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS). Other Local
Authorities pay a lesser fee.
