(name of head of health establishment)

 

the Review Board that  ..........................................................................................

                                              (name of mental health care user)

I am satisfied that the restrictions and intrusions on the mental health care user's right to movement, privacy and dignity are proportionate to the care, treatment and rehabilitative services contemplated.

 

The basis of this request for further involuntary care, treatment and rehabilitation on an outpatient basis is that:

(b) The User is currently incapable of making an informed decision on the need for the care, treatment and rehabilitation services;

 

(c) The User is refusing care, treatment and rehabilitation services
