Proceeding contribution from Tim Loughton (Conservative) 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]

Perhaps I can help the Minister. I alluded earlier to the experience in Scotland—albeit at an early stage—which is that the number of patients released under CTOs has been considerably higher than was anticipated. Does he envisage that that may be replicated in this country when the legislation comes in? If so, the word ““higher”” might be what he is looking for.
