Monitoring of priority areas
We have continued to monitor the use of emergency detention, overrides of advance statements, compulsory treatment in the community and services for younger people. These were the priorities that emerged during stakeholder consultation over how the Commission should respond to the implementation of the Act. We reported on care plans last year. This year, because of rises in the use of the Act for older people, we have included a special section on our findings from our analysis of the use of the Act for people aged 85 and over. We reported on the use of emergency detention in the 'emergency detention' section of this report. This section contains information on our other priority areas.
