Every day, something new occurs to do with the
Health and Social Care Bill. As you've probably seen, today the
Royal College of General Practitioners has
called for the Prime Minister to withdraw the Bill.
As far as we are concerned, we stand by the statement the College issued on Wednesday.
For the next two weeks, I will be working extra hard with our
Policy team on a plain English version of what parity of esteem
between mental and physical health means, and why we must have
absolute evidence that it should appear across the face of any
Bill.
In the meantime, I’d like express our great
thanks to those Peers in the House of Lords who have been
supporting amendments to the Bill that would improve the health and
care of people with mental health problems.
