Orders for removal under Section 47 of the 1948 National Assistance Act are little discussed. However, they involve severe infringements of the civil liberties of those affected. It is argued that all previously presented justifications for the use of these orders fail. Repeal of the act is called for. The Law Commission has drafted alternative legislation, but this has not been enacted. Until this occurs local authorities, the Faculty of Public Health Medicine and individual public health physicians should refuse to be involved in its use.
1948年《国家援助法》第47条规定的移送令鲜少被讨论。然而，它们严重侵犯了受影响者的公民自由。有人认为，此前提出的使用这些命令的所有理由都站不住脚。因此呼吁废除该法案。法律委员会已起草了替代立法，但尚未颁布。在此之前，地方当局、公共卫生医学学院和个体公共卫生医生应拒绝参与其使用。
