Draft Mental Health Bill (EDM1731)

Draft Mental Health Bill

EDM number 1731 in 2001-02, proposed by David Taylor on 15/10/2002.

That this House shares the widespread concern on the part of users, carers, providers of services, professionals, mental health organisations and others at proposals contained in the Government's Draft Mental Health Bill, which will increase the number of people subject to compulsory treatment and not provide the positive, enlightened legal framework required for mental healthcare and treatment into the 21st century; urges the Government to take full account of the responses to the consultation launched in June; congratulates the Mental Health Alliance and all its members for campaigning so effectively and constructively around mental health care reform; welcomes the lobby of Parliament on 23rd October; and urges honourable Members to meet their constituents to discuss the issues and to visit the exhibition of work by users of the Grange Day Centre in Coalville (North West Leicestershire) in the Upper Waiting Hall to mark World Mental Health Week and to further their understanding of mental health issues.

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