Mental Health Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Patricia Hewitt (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 April 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on Mental Health Bill [HL].
No. I think that there is a very real problem with the treatability test as interpreted in current law and in practice. The problem is that people with personality disorders often have enormous difficulty getting the services that they need, because they are too often dismissed as untreatable on the basis of what people think the treatability test means.
