Indeed, but then the patient is refusing to be fed presumably. If they want to be fed there is no need to deprive them of liberty - you just offer...
Interesting. It was the reference to the use of the mental health act that seemed so odd.
Yes, I agree. There seems to be a flawed logic involved and I suspect that the quoted guidance isn't intended tone interpreted in the way being...
