Joint Committee On Health

General Scheme of the Mental Health (Amendment) Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)

I do not personally have that to hand. We could look for such statistics. Physical restraint in general is a very short-lived intervention. It takes just minutes to get a situation under control. It is not as if someone is being physically restrained for hours and hours. In my experience, that has been an extremely rare event.
