Mental Health Bill 2008: Committee and Remaining Stages
5:00 pm
Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Progressive Democrats)
The Deputy is correct. It can also cover a person whose renewal order expired yesterday, today or during the past week. When we began discussing these issues, 230 cases were involved and this has been reduced to approximately 209. Patients involuntarily detained for a period of time are discharged all the time.
