11.  In relation to the imposition on P of a requirement to attend at a particular place at particular times or intervals for the purpose of being given particular treatment that would or might be treatment with serious consequences, the criteria for authorisation are that—

(a)failure to impose such a requirement would be more likely than not to result in P’s not receiving the treatment;
