Proceeding contribution from Stephen O'Brien (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 July 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Epilepsy Services.
Epilepsy Services
That point highlights another subject that was touched on by the hon. Member for Calder Valley (Chris McCafferty). So often, in the prison population in particular, those who suffer from epilepsy of whatever degree are labelled as having a mental health condition. That is often part of the missed diagnoses, let alone the misdiagnoses. I am anxious, as part of the liaison between the Department of Health and the Ministry of Justice, that there should be a much greater emphasis on considering the condition on its own merits rather than as a part of mental health, which, of course, is one of the main areas of concern within the prison population.
