Depending on whether you are using the beginning, middle or end of the sentence you would put quotation marks then three dots either at the beginning, end or the beginning and the end, that is, "..." (page number, Author). - In most reference styles the dot comes after the brackets with the page number and author.
If, for example, the sentence you want to quote is: "The Human Rights Act 1998, says that a person cannot be detained unless he/she has been convicted in court unless they are of unsound mind, drug addicts or vagrants or their detention is aimed to prevent of the spreading of Infectious Diseases" (p. 55, Home Office & Department of Health).
Quoting only the first part would be: "The Human Rights Act 1998, says that a person cannot be detained unless he/she has been convicted in court..." (p. 55, Home Office & Department of Health).
Quoting only the middle part would be: "...unless they are of unsound mind, drug addicts or vagrants..." (p. 55, Home Office & Department of Health).
Quoting only the last part would be: "...unless they are of unsound mind, drug addicts or vagrants or their detention is aimed to prevent of the spreading of infectious diseases" (p. 55, Home Office & Department of Health).
Hope this makes sense :)
