Proceeding contribution from Lord Soley (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 19 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Mental Health Bill [HL].
Mental Health Bill [HL]
My Lords, we ought to look at this again. Psychiatrists are involved in two very important areas. One is the pharmacological area; the other is to identify whether the behaviour is a result of a physical condition rather than a mental one. It is important to note that, when teams go out to readmit people or to do other things of that nature, they may have the doctor’s knowledge but they often work without doctors. That is no bad thing; it is teamwork.
