Eight years ago, the Government started that process but many delays later, allied to promises that change would finally come this year and, lo and behold, we have a further road block.
One would be hopeful that the above will be enacted this year, although I will believe it when I see it. There are a couple of key parts to this Act which really are very important and would sway someone in whether they would want to access mental health services in Ireland or not.There are two types of hospital admission into mental care units in this country: voluntary admission and involuntary admission.It’s basically where a doctor orders one to be admitted into a mental health unit.
I would like to ask the Government is there some context as to why these important reforms are being continually kicked down the road. –Yours, etc,Doctor who ‘failed to grasp basics of consent’ is jailed for rape of wife
