In the final months leading to the publication of a revised Bill in 2003, this issue of the Journal seeks to highlight the many fundamental concerns about the current draft Bill expressed by sectors working in the mental health field, by bringing together a handful of the estimated 2000 or so responses made during its short consultation period last summer. For ease of reference, the articles and commentaries which focus squarely on the implications of the draft Bill have been placed in a separate section at the end of this Journal (when editing this section, we have assumed that readers have some prior knowledge of the contents of the Bill).
