In this Report, the Joint Committee on Human Rights considers: the draft Mental Capacity Act 2005 Code of Practice; draft guidance on Bournewood patients (people who lack capacity to consent to the arrangements made for their care, where those arrangements amount to a deprivation of liberty); and the Government's approach to the Council of Europe Recommendation (2004/10) on the protection of the human rights and dignity of persons with mental disorder. This paper builds on two previous reports published by the Committee on the Mental Health Bill during its passage through Parliament in 2006-07 ('Legislative Scrutiny: Seventh Progress Report (HL 112 / HC 555)', ISBN 9780104010754; and 'Legislative Scrutiny: Mental Health Bill (HL 40 / HC 288)', ISBN 9780104010136), both of which are available to purchase below.

The Committee was appointed to examine the provisions of the draft Mental Health Bill (Cm 6305-I & II, ISBN 0101630522) published in September 2004. This draft Bill was revised in the light of the ethical and civil liberties concerns raised about the original draft Mental Health Bill (Cm 5538-I, II, III, ISBN 0101553838) published in June 2002. The Bill seeks to introduce a new legal framework for the compulsory care and treatment of people suffering from mental disorders under formal powers, subject to safeguards which define when a person can be treated without his or her consent. The Committee's report recommends that the Government should proceed with the Bill, subject to a number of significant amendments identified, including i) clarifying its key principles, using the new Scottish Act as a model, to highlight its aim to safeguard patients and reduce the stigma of mental disorder, as well as protect the public from harm; and ii) clearer definitions for conditions of compulsory powers in treatment, the threshold for risk of harm to others, an individual's right to make decisions about treatment, and the use of non-residential orders. It welcomes the proposed introduction of new mental health tribunals, and the right to an independent advocate. However, concerns are raised over the adequacy of funding and staffing resources available to make the new provisions work. The Committee also concludes that individuals with dangerous and severe personality disorder (DSPD) should not be dealt with by mental health legislation, as they may not meet the conditions for the use of compulsory powers, and therefore recommends that separate legislation should be introduced to manage this small group of people.

This analysis of the law's approach to healthcare decision-making critiques its liberal foundations in respect of three categories of people: adults with capacity, adults without capacity and adults who are subject to mental health legislation. Focusing primarily on the law in England and Wales, the analysis also draws on the law in the United States, legal positions in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand and Scotland and on the human rights protections provided by the ECHR and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Having identified the limitations of a legal view of autonomy as primarily a principle of non-interference, Mary Donnelly questions the effectiveness of capacity as a gatekeeper for the right of autonomy and advocates both an increased role for human rights in developing the conceptual basis for the law and the grounding of future legal developments in a close empirical interrogation of the law in practice.

In Understanding Treatment Without Consent, key contributors examine the work of the UK Mental Health Act Commission (MHAC), which was established to ensure the care and rights of people subjected to the various sections of the 1983 Mental Health Act. Based on a research project funded by the Department of Health, the book also offers a broader exploration of mental health provision in both historical and contemporary contexts, discussing whether mental health reforms have learned the lessons of history. The book builds on earlier work on treatment without consent by providing a more policy-oriented account of mental health law and regulation in the context of health service modernization, discussing contemporary issues facing the MHAC and looking at its future role.

The use of coercion is one of the defining issues of mental health care. Since the earliest attempts to contain and treat the mentally ill, power imbalances have been evident and a cause of controversy. There has always been a delicate balance between respecting autonomy and ensuring that those who most need treatment and support are provided with it. Coercion in Community Mental Health Care: International Perspectives is an essential guide to the current coercive practices worldwide, both those founded in law and those 'informal' processes whose coerciveness remains contested. It does so from a variety of perspectives, drawing on diverse disciplines such as history, law, sociology, anthropology and medicine to provide a comprehensive summary of the current debates in the field. Edited by leading researchers in the field, Coercion in Community Mental Health Care: International Perspectives provides a unique discussion of this prominent issue in mental health. Divided into five sections covering origins and extent, evidence, experiences, context and international perspectives this is ideal for mental health practitioners, social scientists, ethicists and legal professionals wishing to expand their knowledge of the subject area.
