中国拟制定强制医疗所条例 规范管治肇事精神病人

　　新华社北京6月8日电（记者白阳）近年来，精神病人危害公共安全事件屡有发生，引发舆论关切。8日，国务院法制办就《强制医疗所条例（送审稿）》向社会公开征求意见，拟进一步规范对肇事肇祸精神病人的管治制度。

　　记者从国务院法制办了解到，根据刑法有关规定，精神病人在不能辨认或者不能控制自己行为的时候造成危害结果，经法定程序鉴定确认的，不负刑事责任，但应当责令其家属或者监护人严加看管并送医疗；必要时由政府强制医疗。但由于缺乏相应细则，实践中有的病人被送至精神病院治疗，有的被家属领回家自行监管，还有部分病人释放后重新流散到社会，强制医疗制度效果并不明显。

　　此次公布的送审稿明确，强制医疗所的机构性质是执法机关而非单纯的医疗机构，推行与看守所等其他公安监所一样的专业化医疗工作模式。

　　送审稿规定，对被强制医疗人员实施或者将要实施伤害自身、危害他人安全、扰乱医疗秩序行为的，强制医疗所可以采取约束、隔离等保护性医疗措施，但实施的保护性医疗措施应当遵循医学诊断标准和治疗规范，禁止用以惩罚被强制医疗人员。同时，强制医疗所不得强迫被强制医疗人员从事生产劳动，严禁对被强制医疗人员实施以治疗精神障碍为目的的外科手术。

　　强制医疗所应在强制医疗执行期满一年之日后的30日内，对被强制医疗人员进行首次诊断评估，此后每隔半年进行一次诊断评估。如果被强制医疗人员病情稳定、已不具有人身危险性，或因伤残、年老体弱等原因致使日常生活不能自理的，强制医疗所应当提出解除强制医疗的意见，报作出强制医疗决定的人民法院批准，并抄送同级人民检察院。

　　送审稿强调，如果被强制医疗人员在被强制医疗期间死亡，强制医疗所应当立即报告主管公安机关，通知其监护人、近亲属，同时通知作出强制医疗决定的人民法院和同级人民检察院。强制医疗所主管公安机关应当对死亡原因作出鉴定。监护人、近亲属若对死亡原因鉴定有异议，可向人民检察院提出。

　　送审稿还对强制医疗所的日常管理、被强制医疗人员临时请假回家、所外就医等内容作出具体规定。

　　有关单位和各界人士可以在2016年7月7日前，登录中国政府法制信息网（http：／／www.chinalaw.gov.cn），通过法规规章草案意见征集系统对送审稿提出意见。
