I want to address the issue of seclusion. There is a recommendation that there be no reference to criminal prosecution of doctors. Will a witness unpack that for me and outline concerns about it? One matter raised in the opening statement is that people can be criminalised for simply filling out a form wrongly. Is that a serious concern? Will somebody outline that in more detail?
