What are medical staff at Hillmorton State psychiatric institution Christchurch New Zealand involved in?

The medical psychiatric staff at Hillmorton hospital are authorized to use resonable force on patients to treat them (see s.122B(3), Mental Health (CAT)Act 1992).

What sections of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 are relevant?
The relevant provisions are:


9. Right not to be subjected to torture or cruel treatment -Everyone has the right not to be subjected to torture or to cruel, degrading, or disproportionately severe treatment or punishment.

10 Right not to be subjected to medical or scientific experimentation -Every person has the right not to be subjected to medical or scientific experimentation without that person's consent.

11 Right to refuse to undergo medical treatment -Everyone has the right to refuse to undergo any medical treatment.

Everyone deprived of liberty shall be treated with humanity and with respect for the inherent dignity of the person. (s.23(5))



Forced psychiatric treatment, under the Mental Health Act, is inconsistent with the right to refuse treatment in section 11.

Hillmorton medical staff have been/and are involved in the detainment and forced drugging (and ECT) of patients at Hillmorton, as are staff at other state psychiatric institutions throughout new zealand.
