Insert "or any other person" after "himself or herself" wherever occurring in section 24 (1) (b).
Note: Section 24 of the Mental Health Act 1990 authorises a police officer to arrest a person who appears to be mentally disturbed, and who appears also to have committed an offence or attempted suicide or serious self-harm, and to take the person to a hospital to be assessed for mental illness or mental disorder. This Schedule amends section 24 so as to allow similar action to be taken in relation to a person who appears to be mentally disturbed and who appears also to have attempted serious harm to another person.
