Since 1959, informal admission has been used for the admission of non-resisting adults to hospital for treatment of their mental health problems. The Court of Appeal has ruled this practice unlawful. As a consequence, certain issues in relation to the admission and management of these patients will have to be reconsidered and while there will be positive repercussions for the management of patients there will also be some negative effects. This article considers the implications.
自1959年以来，非正式收治一直被用于接纳无反抗能力的成年人住院治疗其心理健康问题。上诉法院已裁定这种做法不合法。因此，与这些患者的收治和管理相关的某些问题将不得不重新考虑，虽然对患者管理会有积极影响，但也会有一些负面影响。本文探讨了其中的影响。
