Admission and treatment despite application (3) The decision to admit the person to the hospital, psychiatric facility or health facility may take effect, and the treatment may be administered, even if the person indicates that he or she intends to apply to the Board under subsection (1) or under subsection 13 (1) of the Mental Health Act and even if the application to the Board has been made and has not yet been finally disposed of.  1996, c. 2, Sched.

Considerations (5) In reviewing the decision to admit the person to the hospital, psychiatric facility or health facility for the purpose of treatment, the Board shall consider, (a) whether the hospital, psychiatric facility or health facility can provide the treatment; (b) whether the hospital, psychiatric facility or health facility is the least restrictive setting available in which the treatment can be administered; (c) whether the person’s needs could more appropriately be met if the treatment were administered in another place and whether space is available for the person in the other place; (d) the person’s views and wishes, if they can be reasonably ascertained; and (e) any other matter that the Board considers relevant.  1996, c. 2, Sched. A, s. 34 (5). Order (6) The Board may, (a) direct that the person be discharged from the hospital, psychiatric facility or health facility; or (b) confirm the decision to admit the person to the hospital, psychiatric facility or health facility.  1996, c. 2, Sched. A, s. 34 (6). Restriction on repeated applications (7) If the decision to admit the person is confirmed on the final disposition of an application under this section, the person shall not make a new application for a review of the decision to admit within six months after the final disposition of the earlier application, unless the Board gives leave in advance.  1996, c. 2, Sched. A, s. 34 (7). Same (8) The Board may give leave for the new application to be made if it is satisfied that there has been a material change in circumstances that justifies reconsideration of the decision to admit.  1996, c. 2, Sched. A, s. 34 (8). Application under Mental Health Act (9) For the purpose of subsection (7), a final disposition of an application made under section 13 of the Mental Health Act shall be deemed to be a final disposition of an application under this section.  1996, c. 2, Sched. A, s. 34 (9).
