Since publication of the last issue of the Journal, there has been considerable and increasing speculation about the Government’s timetable, and indeed intentions, with regards to progressing the reform of mental health legislation as outlined in the White Paper published in December 2000. As this issue goes to print, the uncertainty persists, as does the debate on what will/should be the detail of the Bill to be presented in due course to Parliament. Consistent with our aim when publishing previous issues, we intend that the contents of this issue of the Journal will contribute to that debate.
