Nurse concerned that an application ought to be made. (The person appears to meet the criteria for detention for assessment)
The nurse is of the opinion that:
Article 4 (2) states that an application for assessment may be made in respect of a patient on the grounds that –
a) He is suffering from mental disorder of a nature or degree which warrants his detention in a hospital for assessment (or for assessment followed by medical treatment); and
b) Failure to so detain him would create a substantial likelihood of serious physical harm to himself or to other persons.
