Ms Ber Grogan:

For the Deputy's information, in December 2020 the Mental Health Commission published its annual report on restrictive practices, which provides a breakdown by percentage of the use of physical restraint and seclusion - male, female and so on - and the times of day where it was most used. That is available on the commission's website. There is a lot of information available on the Mental Health Commission's website.

On chemical restraint, as far as I can remember, in the heads of the Bill it was stated that it has not been used but, again, it is that case of making provisions for a just-in-case scenario.
