274 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Health and Children the plans, if any, he has to introduce amendments to the Mental Treatment Act, 1945. [27042/99]
The Mental Health Bill, 1999, which was published today, will repeal much of the Mental Treatment Act, 1945, and replace it with provisions more appropriate to the modern practice of psychiatry.
