In support of that, it has also been pointed out that the introduction of ACDs engages Article 8 of the ECHR, which requires the state and public bodies to respect the right to personal autonomy, dignity and physical and psychological integrity. Can we really say that a notice on a hospital notice board or a page on a website advertising the existence of ACDs would go far enough to satisfy those ECHR requirements in the fullest sense? I suggest that what we have in the Bill is not quite enough.
