No. 36 of 2008

Mental Health (Amendment) Bill 2008

Public bill · Private Member · Introduced

The proposal would amend mental-health law to remove wording that could allow involuntary procedures to be used where a person was willing to receive treatment. It would therefore limit such procedures to cases where the person is not willing, strengthening respect for consent in mental-health care.

Formal long title
