Official statistics on coercion
Unfortunately, data on the extent of compulsory treatment are incomplete and partly poor quality. This are the best approximations possible to provide on the basis of existing data….

Total admissions in mental health hospital in 2012- official health statistics

Involuntary admissions:
Calculations based on patient data from the NPR show that about 5,400 people were involountary hospitalized a total of 7,800 times in 2012. This means that 16 percent of admissions to mental health services for adults occurred under coercion and that one in five inpatients had been involountary hospitalized at least once during the year.

Short admissions: For involuntary admissions where compulsory mental health care was established, half of patients were discharged or transferred to voluntary treatment within three weeks after the forced admission took place.

Reduction:
Number of compulsory admissions were reduced by approximately four percent from 2011 to 2012, and adjusted for population growth, the decline was six percent.

Stabile geographical variations !! The analyzes show consistent and significant differences in the extent of forced hospitalizations both between and within health regions, but the difference appears to be somewhat reduced last year.

UN’s conclusive remark towards Norway: • The Committee is concerned about the high frequency of compulsory
treatment and confinement in the mental health system of persons with psycho-social disabilities, as well as the inadequate legal framework regulating the application of coercive treatment. (art. 12).
• The Committee calls upon the State party to ensure full respect for human rights of persons with psycho-social disabilities in cases of treatment in a psychiatric institution, including through ensuring that treatment is based on the free and informed consent of the individual concerned or his or her legal representative. It recommends that the State party amend the Mental Health Act to introduce stricter procedural requirements to ensure that persons with psycho-social disabilities have adequate legal protection against the use of coercion. It also recommends that the State party incorporate into the law the abolition of the use of restraint and the enforced administration of intrusive and irreversible treatments such as neuroleptic drugs and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). It further recommends that the State party increase the number of community-based services, including peer support and other alternatives to the medical model, for persons with psycho-social disabilities and allocate the necessary financial and human resources for the effective functioning of these services.
