I have a question for Mr. McGrath. Article 14 of the CRPD says people should not be detained somewhere like a psychiatric hospital. We have seen it in the past where people have been admitted by their families and otherwise. That is obviously opposed by us all. The Mental Health Act 2001 allows people to be deprived of their liberty and treated without their consent. Does Mr. McGrath think that needs to be reformed? That does not reflect how a rights-based approach should be adopted. Will Mr. McGrath comment on that?
