Hello Pumpkins

According to the Mind website 'nearest relative' is a special term used in the Mental Health Act 1983. It gives one member of your family rights and responsibilities if you are detained in hospital under section 2, 3, 4 or 37 ........ There is more information on the site at mind.org/. I hope this is helpful.

Best wishes.
