医生有权利强制治疗24 hours.
That's Form 1, Form 2 or Form 3, depending on the scenario. In fact, secure treatment can last longer. I have seen cases in "detention" for a few months or a few years. Currently, this guy is under secure treatment. A panel of psychiatrist will review the decision every week.
The first thing is the patient must present himself or herself to at least two doctors in order for the secure treatment to occur. Thereafter, an application will be submitted to the law court for a secure treatment order. Otherwise, no one has the authority to "Form" a patient longer than 24 or 48 hours (don't remember).
If you want, I can quote the relevant legislation for your reference tomorrow. |
