Mental health legislation:

  • A convenient truth
    Homicide by mental health patients has become a rare event in England and Wales, say Olav Nielssen and Matthew Large.
  • Safe, sound and surgical
    The white paper, Reforming the Mental Health Act (2001), is a key part of the Government's reform of mental health law, which claims to be creating a modern service that is 'safe, sound and supportive'.
  • Unworkable and regressive
    The draft Mental Health Bill represents the next stage in a process of consultation which has included the Richardson Committee Report, the Government Green Paper, the Health Committee Report and finally the White Paper.
