Compulsory treatment of patients
44Plan for future treatment and care
The responsible clinician must, if practicable, prepare a plan for the patient's release from compulsory status.
The plan must set out the responsible clinician's recommendation for future treatment, follow-up care, and any other action that the clinician considers appropriate.
In preparing the plan, the responsible clinician must take all reasonably practicable steps to ensure that the following are consulted:
- the patient:
- the patient’s principal caregiver:
- the patient’s welfare guardian (if the court has appointed one):
- the patient’s nominated person (if the patient has nominated one):
- any agency involved in providing relevant services to the patient.
The responsible clinician must take all reasonably practicable steps to provide the persons specified in subsection (3)(a) to (d) with appropriate information about future treatment and follow-up care.
