As written, and as another party had already highlighted, Part 2d of this proposal would make it unlawful to detain someone solely for their own protection, in circumstances where they are a danger to only themselves rather than a danger to others.

This is a problem, as most advanced dementia patients are not a danger to others, but often are to themselves; due to their short term memory issues and mental faculty degradation, they often display an inability to remember to feed themselves or look after themselves properly - despite often protesting otherwise.

As a result, this proposal actually makes it illegal to provide the necessary care for those with advanced dementia; as the disease progresses, it gets to the point where care in the community is no longer possible - at which point care generally involves involuntary residence in a specialised hospice facility.

Thankfully NS isn't real life, as if it were then I'm afraid that this proposal would endanger the wellbeing of a proportion of those it claims to support, as removal of this care framework would result in unnecessary deaths.
