Debate

Mental Health Bill [HL]

Contribution

My personal worries are about the culture of draining society of resilience and of a dependent citizenry, but for this Mental Health Bill it would seem sensible for the Government to review the confusion about who services are for and what is driving this extraordinary increase in those demanding NHS, mental health and autism services—because it seems to me that it is social rather than medical. Whatever is happening, it could mean that those most in need will be neglected in the scramble for official labels and treatments.
