The changes included a single broader definition of mental disorder; the abolition of the 'treatability test'; widening the range of roles previously assigned to social workers and doctors; shortening the time limits for a patient's automatic referral to an independent tribunal; and strengthening the safeguards for people without the capacity to consent to care under detention, such as those with dementia.
