The Mental Welfare Commission for Scotland (MWC) explains how The Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 affects carers.
Anyone involved in the care and treatment of the person using a mental health service must provide carers with the necessary information for providing effective care.
A carer may not receive information that the cared-for person does not want to share.
