I propose to take Question Nos. 388 and 389 together.
The Government is committed to a review of the Mental Health Act 2001, which will be informed by human rights standards. My officials have begun to scope out the review and draft terms of reference will be submitted to me as early as possible; it is likely that a small working group will be appointed to oversee the review of the Act. My officials are currently engaged in discussions with the Health Research Board in relation to the availability of international evidence on a human right based approach to mental health legislation and in relation to the efficacy of community treatment orders. I can assure the Deputy that a wide ranging public consultation will be undertaken where we will seek the views of the public and relevant interested groups/parties. The open consultation will of course be advertised in the Press.
