Sectioning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The English and Welsh Mental Health Act 1983 has a number of sections that provide powers for involuntary detention, hospitalization or other medical treatment for people affected by mental disorder. |
 | | The use of these sections of the Act is known unofficially as sectioning. |
 | | To protect the interests and rights of people subject to sectioning, the act sets up the Mental Health Act Commission. |
