Dr TRACEY McLELLAN (Labour—Banks Peninsula): Thank you, Madam Speaker. Thank you for the opportunity to say a few words on this bill, the Mental Health (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Amendment Bill. I think it is fitting, given this week is Mental Health Awareness Week, that we progress this bill. It is a bill that updates outdated aspects of 30-year-old legislation. The bill seeks, essentially, to improve the protection of individual rights and the safety both of patients and the public by enabling a more effective application of the Mental Health Act. One of the ways in which it does that is by eliminating indefinite treatment orders. I think, when we think about the way we've conceived and we've conceptualised mental health over the last 30 years, we'd all agree that basic human rights and our idea of that within the environment of mental health have changed. Basic human rights should be afforded to all New Zealanders, regardless of their circumstances, and this principle should inform the legislation that we make in this House.
