I move amendment No. 1 to repeal section 93 of the 2015 Act, which provides for a separate review of Part 8 of the Act I will move a separate amendment to ensure that Part 8, which is related to advanced healthcare directives and designated healthcare representatives, will form part of the overall review of the Act under section 146. Amendment No. 2 seeks to allow people detained under the Mental Health Act to have their advanced healthcare directives adhered to in the same way as anyone else.
The amendment relates to removing section 85(7) to allow advanced healthcare directives to be extended to those involuntarily detained under the Mental Health Act. Under the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act 2015, people detained in hospital for mental health treatment are specifically excluded from legally binding advance healthcare directives.
