Dr GAURAV SHARMA (Labour—Hamilton West): I rise today in the House to take a call on the Mental Health (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Amendment Bill. As a medical doctor who has had part of his training in both inpatient and outpatient clinics, I do support the bill introduced by the honourable Minister Andrew Little. I want to start, first of all, by acknowledging the many people who work in the mental health workforce, as well as those who are the consumers of the mental health services. It's not easy working in the sector and it's even harder being a patient and being a consumer of these services.
