Criminal Law (Insanity) Bill 2002: Second Stage.

 

I will conclude by referring to what has been said about the Central Mental Hospital and other hospitals. Many, if not all, are listed buildings and beautiful in an architectural context, but it stops there. They have no relevance to modern psychiatry, were not built for the treatment of patients and do not have the facilities or requisite physical features. They should be closed down.
