LCR4802 Assignment 1 (COMPLETE
ANSWERS) Semester 2 2024 - DUE 15
August 2024

, (a) Legislative Provisions for Admission to Sunshine Psychiatric Hospital
Under South African law, the Mental Health Care Act 17 of 2002 governs the care, treatment, and
rehabilitation of persons with mental illnesses. Tinkie’s situation is addressed under this Act,
specifically concerning involuntary admission.

Involuntary Care, Treatment, and Rehabilitation (Section 33-36 of the Act):

A person can be admitted for involuntary care if they are incapable of making an informed decision
regarding their treatment due to their mental illness and if they are a danger to themselves or
others.
Given Tinkie's disoriented and mentally confused state, as well as her self-mutilation, these
conditions are satisfied, making her eligible for involuntary admission without her consent.
The application for involuntary admission can be made by a relative, in this case, Siyabonga, or any
other person such as a health care provider or police officer.
Procedure for Involuntary Admission:

Upon arrival at Sunshine Psychiatric Hospital, a healthcare provider (usually a psychiatrist) would
assess Tinkie's condition.
If the psychiatrist believes Tinkie requires involuntary care, treatment, and rehabilitation, they would
complete the necessary paperwork to admit her under Section 34 of the Act.
The hospital is then required to notify the relevant Review Board within 24 hours, who will review
the case and confirm the involuntary admission.
