Domestic Abuse Bill

Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 July 2020. It occurred during Debate on bills on Domestic Abuse Bill.

I wholeheartedly support everything that the Minister has said, but one additional factor that can make it more difficult for a victim of domestic violence to feel secure in this system is that they have had a brain injury which might not have been diagnosed. So all the anxiety, loss of memory and loss of executive function may be completely misunderstood by many other people around her. Is it not time that we made sure, as my new clause 13 would do, that all victims of domestic violence and abuse are screened for acquired brain injury?
