Control And Restraint Techniques In Mental Health Hospitals

EDM number 411 in 1998-99, proposed by Ian Gibson on 10/03/1999.

That this House welcomes the Home Secretary's extension of the Race Relations Act to cover all public services; believes that the question as to whether racism is prevalent in the mental health service needs examining, especially in relation to deaths following the use of control and restraint techniques; and calls on the Government to establish an inquiry into this.

This motion has been signed by a total of 42 MPs.
