§ Dr. NaysmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Health when he expects to receive the results of the research by Durham University into the role of advocacy in mental health; if the results will be published; and if the Government will consult on the findings. [2959]
§ Jacqui SmithThe Department has received a draft copy of the report from Durham University. We expect to receive the final version later this summer. We are 221W planning to publish the findings. The report, which will contain the findings of the research commissioned by the Department, will be used to inform discussions with interested parties in the development of the independent specialist advocacy services and the standards that will be drawn up for them.
