Having looked at the Bill again today, I note it requires that the registered proprietor of an acute mental health centre must notify the commission in each application of restrictive practice in respect of a child in that registered acute mental health centre or mental health facility and I suppose the real question is whether the commission will review all such cases. The amendments also ensure that in cases where Tusla is the legal parent of a child, an issue Senator Boyhan has raised throughout the debate and about which I know he is deeply concerned, that child can be admitted to inpatient mental health services, and that, while in the care of Tusla, consent to the admission, treatment and discharge of that child is treated in exactly the same way as for any other child.
