Ms Ber Grogan:

In his points about advocacy, Mr. Ryan reminded me of the importance of advanced healthcare directives as well, which I know come up throughout the legislation. Anybody going into an inpatient unit who is in need of care and support and has had his or her advanced healthcare directive prepared during a time when he or she was well and things were better in his or her life will have already discussed types of treatment, consent and so on. This ties in with the decisions for services and advocacy.
