Proposition de loi relative aux soins psychiatriques sans consentement et à leur contrôle

This is a private member's bill tabled in the French National Assembly (Assemblée nationale) concerning psychiatric care provided without the patient's consent, and how that care is monitored. Such care covers situations where a person with a mental health condition is admitted or treated against their will, typically under measures that require medical certification and judicial or administrative review. The bill addresses the legal framework governing these measures and the safeguards that apply to them. The bill would mainly affect people subject to involuntary psychiatric treatment, their families, and psychiatric hospitals and medical staff who apply these measures. Judges, prefects and oversight bodies responsible for checking the lawfulness of such care may also see their roles affected.
