Mental Health Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Mark Pritchard (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 April 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on Mental Health Bill [HL].
Of the 1,300 people who sadly killed themselves last year who had exposure to mental health services, many would previously have been admitted to accident and emergency units. Does my hon. Friend agree that accident and emergency units should have a standard operating procedure, whereby people who present themselves who have self-harmed automatically receive counselling, through voluntary or charity groups, or perhaps even as a result of increased resource in the NHS?
