The Great Escape Bed Push

The journey towards a more peaceful approach to mental health continues!

Mental Health Bill Regional Implementation Plan

This is what we need to resist in the near future.  In Spring 2008 the English government plans to make the definition of mental illness more broad and far reaching, and plans to force people to take medication once they have been discharged from hospital (Community Treatment Orders). In Scotland where Community Treatment Orders have already been legal for nearly two years, this has had the effect of increasing compulsory admissions and treatments.  People on the recieving end are being listened to less than ever.  If you are interested in joining the Great Escape Bedpush team in any way to campaign against these draconian proposals contact us.
