[Comments on the EszCsM (Ministry of Health, Welfare and Family) decree No. 60/2004. (VII. 6.) about the rules of admission of psychiatric patients to mental health facilities and the restraints applicable in their care].

The authors compare the human right and medical aspects of the restraints which can be used in care of psychiatric patients. They outline the legislation in force and legislative objectives which were taken into consideration when codifying the ESzCsM (Ministry of Health, Welfare and Family) decree No. 60/2004. (VII. 6.) about the rules of admission of psychiatric patients to mental health facilities and the restraints applicable in care of them. The legal problems of the admission and its connection with the restraints and with the judicial review are summed up. Aspects for interpretation are given for the regulations of the decree which supposedly can prove to be most problematic in practice. Suggestions are made for the standpoints of legislative objectives which may seem necessary in the future.
