Proceeding contribution from Baroness Barker (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 26 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Mental Health Bill [HL].


Mental Health Bill [HL]

My Lords, before the Minister sits down, perhaps he will help me. Am I right in believing that the doctors who will be judging the effects of non-compliance with regard to medication are the same doctors whom the Government believe cannot predict the therapeutic benefit of a treatment for a patient? That is a problem for me. There is a hole in the Government’s logic and expectations.
