(a) to give an involuntarily admitted person treatment for a mental disorder, or | ||
(b) to consent to an involuntarily admitted person being given treatment for a mental disorder, | ||
if, at the time when it is proposed to treat the involuntarily admitted person, his or her treatment is regulated by Chapter 3 of Part 3 of the Act of 2026, unless the treatment concerned is authorised in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 3 of the Act of 2026. | ||
(2) In this section, ‘mental disorder’, ‘involuntarily admitted person’ and ‘treatment’ have the same meaning as they have in the Act of 2026.”. |
