Campaigns White Paper on Mental Health Act reform Action Briefing Just before Christmas the Government published its white paper on the Reform of the Mental Health Act. This page suggests things you can do to raise any concerns about the Government s proposals. The next step will be for the Government to take a Bill through parliament, which will not happen until after the general election. Nothing in the White Paper is law until this has happened. The White Paper Mind s response to the White Paper was mixed.
Some parts are good, such as introducing a right to advocacy.
Others are very disappointing. A short briefing on some of the key points on the White Paper is available. A longer briefing is also available if you want further details. This will take place 2 8th April this year. There are a variety of activities suggested suitable for people to do on their own or with others.
