Abstract
Section 54 of the Mental Health (Scotland) Act, 1960, enables a court to remand to hospital for psychiatric examination and report persons charged with an offence who also appear to be mentally disordered. This article reviews this section of the Act in its practical aspects as experienced by the consultant staff of one Scottish mental hospital during the two-year period 1965–6.
