Western Australian Current Acts Western Australian Current Acts (1) A medical
practitioner or authorised mental health practitioner may make an order
revoking a referral made under section 26(2) or (3)(a) if satisfied that the
person who is referred is no longer in need of an involuntary treatment order.
(2) The practitioner
cannot revoke the referral if it was made by another practitioner unless
—
(a) the
practitioner has consulted the other practitioner about whether or not to
revoke the referral; or
(b)
despite reasonable efforts to do so, the other practitioner could not be
contacted.
(3) The order must be
in the approved form and must include the following —
(a) the
date and time when it is made;
(b) the
reasons for making it;
(c) if
the other practitioner was consulted — a record of the consultation;
(d) if
the other practitioner could not be contacted — a record of the efforts
made to do so;
(e) the
name, qualifications and signature of the practitioner.
(4) The practitioner
must, as soon as practicable, file the order and give a copy to the person.
(5) The practitioner
must, as soon as practicable —
(a)
advise the transport officer or police officer responsible for carrying out
any transport order made under section 29(1) in respect of the person that the
referral has been revoked under subsection (1) and that therefore the
transport order has been revoked under section 153; and
(b) file
a record of that advice.
(6) The person cannot
continue to be detained if the referral is revoked under subsection (1).
(7) The release of a
person because of subsection (6) is an event to which Part 9 applies and the
practitioner who revokes the referral is the person responsible under that
Part for notification of that event.
