Mental Health Bill Must Protect Patients, Not Demonise Them

12.00.00am BST (GMT +0100) Wed 8th Sep 2004

Commenting on the re-draft of the Mental Health Bill, Liberal Democrat Shadow Health Secretary Paul Burstow MP, said:

"For the Mental Health Bill to work, the Government must have made changes

to their earlier extreme and draconian Draft Bill.

"A new Mental Health Act is desperately needed, but it must be a law to protect and improve services for patients, not a means to demonise those with mental health problems."
