61 Purpose to achieve balance for health care
This chapter seeks to strike a balance between—
(a)
ensuring an adult is not deprived of necessary health care only because the adult has impaired capacity for a health matter or special health matter; and
(b)
ensuring health care is given to the adult only if it is appropriate in all the circumstances.
Note—See also the general principles and health care principles set out in sections 11B and 11C.
