In the third week of June, the Law Society and the Royal College of Psychiatrists jointly hosted a very well attended two-day conference on reform of mental health law (day one) and the law relating to mental incapacity (day two), entitled ‘Make up your mind’. What emerged both from the presentations and from questions and comments ‘from the floor’, was widespread and strong opposition to many of the mental health legislative reform proposals set out in the White Paper of December 2000, and equally widespread and strong support for long-awaited legislation in the field of mental incapacity. The following week the Draft Mental Health Bill was published.However a Mental Incapacity Bill would still appear to be some way off.
