15 Assessment of significant harm—adult subject to guardianship order

For section 13 (1) (a), in considering if it is reasonably likely that a prescribed person who is an adult would suffer significant harm if the proposed treatment or an alternative treatment option were not undertaken, the assessment committee—

(a)

for an individual treatment plan—must consider any wishes the prescribed person has communicated in relation to their variation in sex characteristics; and

(b)

unless the person has communicated a wish to have the proposed treatment or an alternative treatment option undertaken—must disregard any evidence that the treatment needs to be undertaken to reduce discrimination or stigmatisation or a perceived risk of discrimination or stigmatisation.
