Tribunal administration

The Tribunal is administered by the Tribunals Service, and the Tribunal administration is undertaken by the Secretariat offices based in Leicester.

The Welsh Assembly has similar responsibilities for Tribunals in Wales and administration is carried out at the Secretariat office in Cardiff.

All the Secretariat staff are civil servants and are completely independent of the hospital authorities.

The Regional Tribunal Judges and the Secretariat work closely together to make sure that the whole Tribunal process is closely managed. It is important to point out that the Tribunal operates completely independently of all Government Departments.
