Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Mental Health Bill 2024: Discussion
2:00 am
Pádraig O'Sullivan (Cork North-Central, Fianna Fail)
I had a supplementary question that I did not get to touch on. The 2,000 involuntary admissions potentially involve 2,000 court dates under the proposed legislation. If somebody is presenting on multiple occasions, is there scope for that person not having to await another court date? Is there merit in suggesting that provision might be provided for a person who is presenting repeatedly throughout the course of a year?
