Cretney says treatment must be equal
The Chairman of the Social Affairs Policy Review Committee admits there is still a big disparity between attitudes towards mental ill health and physical ill health on the Island.
Oral evidence was given to the committee by the Mental Health Commission last week, following an extensive enquiry by the independent body into provision of mental health services.
MLC David Cretney says there is still lots of work to be done to reduce the stigma for those suffering from mental ill health:
