Under section 11(2) of the Act, we may dispense with intimation or notification to an adult under
the Act, if it is considered that this would be likely pose a serious risk to their health. Under
section 7(1)(d) of the Act, the Scottish Ministers prescribe the evidence which we shall take into
account when deciding under section 11(2) whether to dispense with intimation or notification.
This certificate (SSI 79) should be used to provide such evidence when it is necessary. It

dispensed with on production of certificates from two medical practitioners that such intimation
or notification would pose a serious risk to their health. The regulations also prescribe that:
zThe two medical practitioners must be independent of each other
zIn any case where the incapacity of the adult is by reason of mental disorder, one of the
two medical practitioners must be a medical practitioner approved for the purposes of
Section 22 of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment)(Scotland) Act 2003 as having
special experience in the diagnosis or treatment of mental disorder.
BOTH SECTIONS OF THIS CERTIFICATE (SSI 79) MUST BE COMPLETED AND THE TWO
DOCTORS SIGNING MUST FULFIL THE REQUIREMENTS ABOVE.
