The Mental Health Act 2008 was subject to little debate. This Act ensured that the detentions of involuntary psychiatric patients under the Mental Health Act 2001 remained lawful. The direct costs of administering the Act are estimated at Euro 993,377, which could have provided 37 years of supported accommodation to the patient involved.
2008年《精神健康法》几乎没有引发什么争论。该法案确保了依据2001年《精神健康法》对非自愿精神病患者的拘留仍属合法。实施该法案的直接成本估计为993,377欧元,这笔钱本可为相关患者提供37年的辅助性住宿服务。
