Psychiatric medication compliance
Tobias Ellison made this Official Information request to Bay of Plenty District Health Board
The request was partially successful.
From: Tobias Ellison
Dear Bay of Plenty District Health Board,
Patients are being told that they will be forced to take their psychiatric medication even if they are not under the Mental Health Act.
What methods are being used to do this and what is the estimated cost-burden to the DHB?
Best regards,
Tobias Ellison
