Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 April 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Mental Health Bill [HL].


Mental Health Bill [Lords]

Is not a further difficulty that many clinicians, when faced with the question, ““Will there genuinely be a therapeutic benefit for somebody with a personality disorder?”” will not in the first instance be able to guarantee that and will in fact be able to state that in the first two or three months, there will almost certainly be a deterioration in the person’s condition? That is the problem that we have to face.
