Proceeding contribution from Patricia Hewitt (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 30 January 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Health and Social Care Services.


Health and Social Care Services

The hon. Gentleman raises an important point. Of course we need to do more to train and recruit people, not only at consultant level but at psychotherapist and counsellor level, to support people who need more support in dealing with depression and other forms of mental illness. We will shortly announce the location of two demonstration sites, where we will trial some of the new approaches—in particular, a more extensive use of cognitive behavioural therapy.
