Proceeding contribution from Baroness Browning (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 18 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Mental Health Bill [Lords].
Mental Health Bill [Lords]
The right hon. Lady has prayed in aid certain groups of professionals who are in favour of CTOs. It is true that last week she managed to find 11 psychiatrists who support the Bill, but the overwhelming majority of members of the Royal College of Psychiatrists oppose the measure. However, there has been no mention of the patients. Only today, Members received a letter in preparation for our debate on Second Reading from Mind, which represents patients and carers, which said:"““Mind remains opposed to CTOs. The case for their introduction has not been made.””" It lists six key points to demonstrate why it opposes CTOs, and the Minister will be familiar with them. What about the patients?
