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]

The safeguards will be included in the code of practice that we will publish in due course. They will be about assessment, ongoing review, and the right to appeal. The code of practice will clearly spell out people’s entitlements and rights in terms of having the treatment order reviewed regularly. That will be about clinical judgment and the patient’s health.
