The IMM recommends that the Government:

42. Strengthens its commitment to reduction of rates of restraint of persons with disabilities, and the rapid reduction, towards elimination, of use of seclusion in secure health and disability facilities, through robust, achievable and time bound policies.

43. Pending elimination of these practices, require district health boards to regularly release annual statistics indicating performance against these policies, including reporting comprehensive data relating to long-term stays in seclusion.
