Ms Coyle mentioned chemical restraint which, I presume, is drug intervention. I am unsure what is meant by mechanical restraint. Perhaps, Ms Coyle would explain that. I am sure that currently, and in the past, the wrong terminology has been used. In terms of isolation, the person would, I presume, be isolated from staff and so forth.
