title: Mental health. Safe but sound.
abstract: A parliamentary pre-legislative scrutiny committee on the Mental Health Bill recommended separate legislation to deal with dangerous and severe personality disorder. There are concerns that policies place protection of the public above the therapeutic needs of the patient. Four pilot services have been set up to address blurred boundaries between custodial and therapeutic concerns, but evidence of their effectiveness remains inconclusive.
