The report by the joint committee on human rights warned people who do not have a mental illness could be sectioned despite posing no risk to others or themselves. MPs and peers argued the mental health bill, which has already had one defeat in the House of Lords, is flawed because the government’s proposed legal definition of illness is too wide. It warned people with conditions such as gender dysphoria - uncertainty about their gender – or transsexuals could be detained under the act. The bill proposes to change the grounds for a person's detention from 'a true mental disorder' to 'any disorder or disability of mind'. This could result in discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation and sexual identity. The report also raised concern that a duty nurse or social worker could be enough to extend someone's detention.

Report of the expert committee commissioned to advise on how mental health legislation should be shaped to reflect contemporary patterns of care within a framework which balances the need to protect the rights of individual patients and the need to ensure public safety. The committee has primarily been concerned with providing a framework for compulsion in respect of certain people with severe mental health problems.
