........ and so it begins .......... UK mental health act changed to make "swine flu" vaccine refusal reason to be detained in hospitalsLast Updated on Wednesday, 23 September 2009 18:59 Wednesday, 23 September 2009 18:01 Temporary changes have been made to the UK Mental Health Act in response to the “swine flu” pandemic to allow people with suspected mental health issues to be quickly detained, and on the assessment of only one doctor and not two as usual, under the pretext of fears of upcoming staff shortages due to the pandemic emergency.The change in the law opens the door to allowing people who refuse the “swine flu” vaccine to be declared paranoid and summarily sectioned (and thus forcibly drugged) under government guidelines.http://www.managementinpractice.com/default.asp?title=SwineflupromptschangestoMentalHealthAct & page=article.display & article.id=18628 Swine flu prompts changes to Mental Health ActWednesday 23rd September 2009The government plans to rush through measures allowing people with suspected mental health issues to be quickly detained because of fears over staff shortages in any forthcoming swine flu outbreak, it has been revealed.The temporary changes to the Mental Health Act, as laid out in an unusually short consultation lasting just one month, would mean it would only take one doctor, rather than two, to have a person sectioned and put on medication without their consent.The measures could have a serious effect on the thousands of patients with psychiatric issues who currently live outside state care, meaning many could be detained against their will on the word of just one health professional.With very little information on the proposed changes published, many mental health experts have warned the government that they risk side-lining an already vulnerable community and have called on it to spell-out the full raft of changes proposed in the consultation.http://www.theflucase.com/index.php?option=com_content & view=article & id=706%3Auk-mental-health-act-changed-to-make-qswine-fluq-vaccine-refusal-reason-to-be-detained-in-hospitals & catid=1%3Alatest-news & Itemid=64 & lang=en«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»Paranormal_Research - Scientific Data, Health Conspiracies & Anything Strange Paranormal_ResearchSubscribe:...
