Mental Health Bill 2024: Committee Stage (Resumed)
1:35 pm
Mary Butler (Waterford, Fianna Fail)
I move amendment No. 267:
In page 151, to delete lines 12 to 17 and substitute the following:
“(6) The responsible consultant psychiatrist or the relevant health professional who orders, initiates or applies a restrictive practice shall have due regard to— (a) the will and preferences of the person regarding the application of a restrictive practice, and
(b) the view of any nominee in relation to such will and preferences,
and those views shall be recorded in writing in the person’s medical record and care plan.”.
