The psychiatrist, Tim Ojo, writes in Body and Soul "the new Mental Health Act seeks to under-gird the potential of both compulsory riskreducing in-patient and communitybased treatment ostensibly in order to allay public concerns" (The Argus, November 12).

What on earth does any of that mean?

Fortunately the good doctor explains that "one of the most significant consequences of these tensions is the move from a rolebased delivery model to a task-based delivery model".

That's all right then. But I'm still not sure if I want any doctor messing with my under-gird.
