I have never been through a service but I understand that the Sharing the Vision policy moves away from the use of restraints and so on. Does the inclusion of these sorts of measures in this legislation conflict with Sharing the Vision? Obviously, restraints are seen as a last resort. If we strive to have the best and broadest mental health legislation, should there not be zero restraints? The legislation and the Sharing the Vision policy do not seem to be aligned. Again, all of these matters will be teased out as we go along.
