was Dr Bailey standing by the bed asking how I felt. I told him I'd had a good night's sleep. He laughed and informed me it was ten days later and, what's more, he had taken some weight off me. I was checked out of the hospital and this time noticed the other patients were still asleep or being taken to the bathroom while out on their feet. A 1992 British television documentary included the testimony of several former patients as well as relatives of those who died as a result of their treatment at Chelmsford Hospital. 2011 controversy In New South Wales in 2011, following the publication of a story in the Sydney Morning Herald, the Minister for Police and Emergency Services, representing the Minister for Health, in answer to a parliamentary question on notice, made a statement on the use of court-ordered prolonged sedation with ECT: Prolonged sedation is used on rare occasions with the administration of ECT where there has been a clinical indication to combine the two procedures, such as in complex cases when the risk to the patient and others from severe mental illness is extreme and other treatments have been unable to safely contain this risk. The primary purpose of the sedation is to keep the patient and staff safe from the patient's severe aggression and to control agitation. The primary purpose of the ECT is to treat the underlying mental illness. The minister said that all three cases had positive outcomes and "accepted procedures and clinical governance processes available at the time were followed". The New South Wales Mental Health Review Tribunal has power to approve or prohibit administration of ECT treatment in respect to both voluntary and involuntary patients. HarperCollins Publishers and Steve Cannane In 2017, doctors John Gill and John Herron, previously involved in the Chelmsford scandal, presented charges against HarperCollins Publishers and Steve Cannane for defamation, following the publication of the book Fair Game: The Incredible Untold Story of Scientology in Australia. In a chapter of this book, Cannane refers to the roles of the Chelmsford Royal Commission and the Church of Scientology played in exposing the practices taking place at Chelmsford Private Hospital. In late 2020, judge Jayne Jagot dismissed the lawsuit, stating that the accusers tried to “rewrite history and vindicate their conduct”, and ordered costs to be paid by Gill and Herron.
