Petition Action

Repeal or reform the Mental Health Act 1983

Petition Details

Seriously review the morality of the entire bill

From the process of sectioning to the use of pharmaceuticals as well as the taking of property and possessions of those detained

Additional Information

I believe the act is both outdated and highly immoral. There is a lack of care and humanity in the hospitals where these things take place and there are a number of missing people who’s data has mysteriously disappeared from the system without explanation.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do to reform or replace the Act.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do, such as hold a review into the Act.
