Change the name "Service User" back to "Clients" for people who access Mental Health and Learning Disabilities Services

Additional Information

Being refurred to as "Service Users" is derogatory, for people who access Mental Health or Learning Disabilities Services, it makes us feel as though we are taking advantage of someone or something, also the word "User" has become synonymous with "drug addict". "Client" on the other hand is much more respectable and has no other connotations.
I wish the Department of Health to have the name "Service User" changed back to "Client" for people who access Mental Health Services or Learning Disabilities Services throughout the U.K.
