Proceeding contribution from Doug Naysmith (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]

It is true that that is the view of the Royal College of Psychiatrists—Dr. Zigmond is sitting up in the Gallery, listening to us—but the point is that it is quite possible to meet psychiatrists who disagree with that view. I have met many of them. That viewpoint is obviously arrived at through a democratic process, but it is not true to say that it is the belief of every psychiatrist practising today.
