§ Mr. Foulkesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will undertake a review of the Mental Health (Scotland) Act 1960 to ensure that the legislative framework for the mental health services reflects current needs.
§ Mr. FairgrieveMy Department has already undertaken a review of the Mental Health (Scotland) Act 1960. I am not persuaded that changes in our mental health legislation are immediately necessary and have decided that no further action should be taken for the present.
