The issues that are involved in the compulsory detention and treatment of persons with mental illness are complex. There has been an improvement in the adequacy of documentation of such persons in the first five years of operation of the new South Australian Mental Health Act, 1976-1977. However, an appreciable proportion of documents still do not appear to comply adequately with the statutory requirements. This may be related not only to shortcomings in the medical documentation, but also to ambiguities and possible overlapping in the criteria for compulsory detention and treatment.
对患有精神疾病的人进行强制拘留和治疗所涉及的问题很复杂。在1976 - 1977年新的南澳大利亚精神健康法案实施的头五年里,对这类人的文件记录完整性有了改善。然而,仍有相当一部分文件似乎未充分符合法定要求。这可能不仅与医疗文件记录的缺陷有关,还与强制拘留和治疗标准中的含糊之处以及可能存在的重叠有关。
