Description

This Act establishes an Alcohol and Drug Dependency Tribunal to determine whether patients' applications to be admitted to a treatment centre should be accepted or not. It then sets out the functioning of the tribunal and when and how an application for admission to a centre may be made. It also deals with the discharge of patients.
