This report draws on a survey of English MPs attitudes to Mental Health and the Mental Health Bill which was conducted in May 2006. The survey was complete by 72 English MPs (28% Conservative, 54% Labour and 9% Liberal Democrats). Key findings include: 77% of MPs think the Bill should be focused on improving service provision; 90% of MPs said constituents raise concerns about local mental health services – but only 6% mention public safety; 10% of MPs have personally experienced mental illness. The more personal experience MPs have of mental illness, the more likely it is that they opposed the draft Mental Health Bill.
