§ Mr. FrenchTo ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) if he will make a statement about the Beverley Lewis case;
(2) whether he has any plans to review the Mental Health Act in the light of the Beverley Lewis case.
§ Mr. FreemanThe death of Beverley Lewis is a very tragic case. We have asked for reports on it from the health and social services authorities concerned. These reports and the inquest findings will be examined very carefully to see what needs to be done to close any gaps in legislation or in guidance to the authorities.
