Mental Health (Involuntary Procedures) (Amendment) Bill 2008: Committee Stage (Resumed)
5:00 pm
Joe O'Toole (Independent)
I have read much of the literature on ECT and I have seen the arguments for and against it. I do not make a value judgment on ECT. I support this matter for another reason, which concerns rights and how we make decisions. The item of legislation we are proposing to remove protects doctors and ignores patients.
