Contribution

Finally, Amendments 39 and 41, tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Browning, seek to ensure that people are detained under Section 3 only for treatment of a psychiatric disorder, not unmet needs relating to autism and/or a learning disability, and that the statement required to support an application for detention should include a statement that detention is necessary for treatment for a psychiatric disorder alone.
