Proceeding contribution from Paul Rowen (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 28 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Concessionary Bus Travel Bill [Lords].


Concessionary Bus Travel Bill [Lords]

I agree. Mental health is one of the big unsung issues that we as a country and this House need to address. That is why I welcome the ongoing discussions on a workable definition of mental ill health. Whether we like it or not, for many people part of the road to recovery is getting out into the community, visiting drop-in centres or education centres, and often a barrier to that is the lack of public transport.
