Mental Health Bill 2024: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Dail Éireann — 2025-06-18
============================================================

Mary Butler (FF), Waterford

I move amendment No. 134:
In page 57, between lines 27 and 28, to insert the following:
“(5) Each consent to or refusal of treatment under this Chapter shall be made in relation to the specific treatment proposed a person shall not make a decision that has the effect (whether intentional or otherwise) of providing general consent to or, as the case may be, general refusal to consent to all forms of treatment without considering each specific treatment proposed.”.
