As the Minister of State will keenly appreciate, the difficulty is that if a person is involuntarily detained, he or she will already feel as though his or her rights are diminished. That is where the difficulty lies for me because we are excluding this group further and we are diminishing their rights further.I believe that amendments will have to be made and that the situation will have to be changed. This should be a priority area because we are talking about a particularly vulnerable group of people given the situation they are in. I shall not be pressing the amendment.
