Ummm... why am I posting? Oh yes, you said you'd rarely seen the 'emergency' section (Section 4) used and you wanted people with experience of it to post. Well I've been put under a section 4 before now, actually it was almost a year ago. The reasoning I'm still not quite sure about apart from they (i.e. crisis psych peeps) wanted to keep me in overnight to make sure I was 'safe' but I was refusing (this was at 9am when I had attended A&E at 2am) and so they decided to section me. Not sure if it was totally legal but I was kept in for 72 hours (well actually 4 days but that's cos the 72 hours ran out on a Sunday and no one gets discharged on Sundays) and then kicked out. Oh well, such is life.

There has not been much movement on the act. Looking at the Scots act may be the way to go. I think it may be a prototype for what they may try to do in England.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-131">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p><div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('131','Mental Nurse'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> Not currently.
