HC Deb 06 June 2000 vol 351 c229W
25. Mrs. Brinton

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the provision of advocacy to people subject to compulsory treatment under the Mental Health Acts. [122886]

Mr. Hutton

All mentally ill people subject to compulsory care should have access to good advocacy. As we announced in our Green Paper on the reform of the Mental Health Act, we are commissioning work to determine and develop models of good practice. I hope to have the results of the study by early next year.
