Proceeding contribution from James Duddridge (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Mental Health Bill [Lords].
Mental Health Bill [Lords]
The proposed test is a lower one, but my understanding is that the word ““capacity”” is used to refer to brain damage, which can be physical as well as mental. In contrast, an ““impairment”” is purely mental. Does my hon. Friend agree that the word ““capacity”” extends to people who have suffered a physical disruption to the brain in road traffic accidents?
