If ever there was a piece of legislation that proved that we cannot please all the people all the time it is this Bill. However, is my right hon.

The charity is looking for reassurance during the passage of the Bill that we will never again allow children as young as 10 to be treated in the same way as older people; we do not want to see them on adult mental health wards.
