Ms Rosemary Smyth:

I wish to follow on from what Ms Mitchell said about the reform of the 2001 Act. We concur with everything she said and agree that all of those areas need to be addressed. In addition, as I outlined to Deputy O'Connell, the registration section of the Act needs to be addressed. Part 5 of the Act is taken from nursing home legislation from the 1990s and needs to be amended in order that it is fit for purpose in the context of a modern mental health service and the registration and regulation of same in the modern era.
