The City created a protocol to be able to intern people who live on the streets and are "a risk" to neighbors. They assure that the objective is to transfer and treat people with psychiatric and addiction disorders.
The City says that the regulation meets all the requirements of the Mental Health Law. The prelude to the publication of this protocol was the recent presentation of the psychiatric SAME, with ambulances specially equipped to transport patients suffering from a mental health problem. Now, the new protocol will be the script on which social workers, the Police and medical professionals from public hospitals will rely.
