    (1)     This section applies if the chief psychiatrist is satisfied that—

        (a)     a person subject to a psychiatric treatment order is no longer a person in relation to whom the ACAT could make a psychiatric treatment order; or

        (b)     if the person is also subject to a restriction order—it is no longer necessary for the person to be subject to the restriction order.

    (2)     The chief psychiatrist must tell the ACAT and the public advocate in writing.

Note     The ACAT must review the order within 72 hours after being notified under this section (see s 36L (2)).
