Mental Health (Involuntary Procedures) (Amendment) Bill 2008: Committee Stage (Resumed)
6:00 pm
Phil Prendergast (Labour)
With regard to a second signatory or where a second opinion is sought, it is never only two psychiatrists and a person in need of the procedure involved; it always involves a multidisciplinary team and involves discussion with the family, occupational therapists, general practitioners, public health nurses, psychiatric nurses and community psychiatric nurses. It does not involve just one person.
