Detention Order continued for NCR patient due to ongoing risk of psychosis and significant threat.
The patient, who was found not criminally responsible for arson in 2016, appeared for her annual Review Board hearing.
She sought a Conditional Discharge, while the hospital and Crown sought a continuation of her Detention Order.
The Board accepted the psychiatric evidence that the patient's schizoaffective disorder remains fragile, particularly due to an ongoing sleep disorder that can trigger psychotic symptoms and impulsive behaviour.
The Board concluded that the patient continues to pose a significant threat to public safety and ordered the continuation of the Detention Order, with minor modifications to travel passes and reporting requirements to ensure it remains the least onerous and least restrictive disposition.
