More than 500 applications for electroconvulsive therapy were approved for people without the capacity to give informed consent in the past year.
The Mental Health Review Tribunal, which makes and reviews orders and hears appeals about the treatment of people with a mental illness, approved 560 applications for ECT in 2015-16, up only one case on the previous year.
