Do new mental health plans put patients first?
Article Abstract:
A first draft bill of compulsory treatment orders (CTO) is defined as a mental disorder as that was very broad and included patients with diabetes and epilepsy, therefore plans are made to revise the bill by suggesting that mental health law will be based on 'prejudice, ignorance and fear'. The impact the bill will have on nurses is discussed.
