Ns: involuntary psychiatric treatment act (ipta) and hospitals act (ha) Other legislation may also apply in some circumstances, such as the adult protection act and the incompetent persons act. Very important as they can be used to interpret ambiguous provisions of the legislation. Voluntary admission and treatment of a voluntary patient in a psychiatric facility (ipta, s. 4-7) S. 3(q) of ipta defines a mental disorder: If a person is assessed as having a mental disorder by a psychiatrist, then the person can be admitted to a psychiatric facility as a voluntary patient.
