Proceeding contribution from Baroness Murphy (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 25 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.
Welfare Reform Bill
I want to press the Minister on his previous remarks when he talked about medical treatment. There is a phrase in the Mental Health Act, and in other medical Acts, to the effect that medical treatment includes all treatment, habilitation and rehabilitation, and I am surprised that they appear to be separated in this Bill. It seems to imply that rehabilitation is not medical treatment when in fact medical treatment includes rehabilitation.
