§ Ms Rosie WintertonThe Mental Health Bill Consultation Document, Cm. 5538–111, published in June 2002 contained a number of specific consultation questions on protecting children and young people with serious mental disorder. We have been considering carefully the responses to the consultation and further points raised at a recent meeting with stakeholders specifically looking at proposals for children and young people.
A revised and completed Mental Health Bill will be brought forward for pre-legislative scrutiny this session.
