Proceeding contribution from Ivan Lewis (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 4 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Mental Health Bill [Lords].


Mental Health Bill [Lords]

No, I am not saying that at all. We have checked, and it has been confirmed that the situation is entirely compatible and consistent with the legislative framework. We are clear that we want a different way of working in all elements of the health service. We genuinely want a multi-disciplinary approach through which professionals from different backgrounds and with different expertise can make a contribution according to their knowledge, skills and qualifications. What I am talking about is a classic example of that.
