Proceeding contribution from Baroness Winterton of Doncaster (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]
I thank the hon. Gentleman for giving way as there is a point I need to put to him. There are people, particularly young women with personality disorders, who do not lose their judgment—they do not have impaired judgment and do not lose capacity—but if left untreated and uncared for they would commit self-harm and, in some instances, suicide. Is the hon. Gentleman prepared to say that we should turn our backs on those people and not give them treatment?
