That's not what I'm reading. (I assume that you too read Norwegian, so we're not discussing artifacts of Google Translate?)
From an article on the opposition to the law[1] (my translation):
The Department of Health hasn't tried to hide that the
goal is a stricter set of laws which can be
used if Breivik is sentenced to compulsory mental
health care.
The department has long wanted a change of laws to
improve the security in institutions that hold highly
dangerous patients. This work was sped up after July 22.
See also [2], which says approximately the same thing.
The criticisms I've seen seem to center on that the new law makes it too simple to declare someone "dangerously insane".
Do you have a link supporting your interpretation?

- JeanPierre 14y agoI think we're disagreeing on definitions and words, not what's going to change. We already have "high security" psychiatric wards, but they want to increase the security and have specific people placed in those "especially high security" wards. People can be placed there if there is a risk of "attacks against the patient themselves", which is as far I know not (directly) caused by mental disorder in the patient. Take a look at http://www.regjeringen.no/nb/dep/hod/dok/regpubl/prop/2011-2012/prop-108-l-20112012/10.html?id=681628 http://www.regjeringen.no/nb/dep/hod/dok/regpubl/prop/2011-2... - esp. § 4A-8, which states the new changes in the law.
