Advocacy (Mental Health) (PE436) Petition PE436, from Ms Marcia Ramsay on behalf of Advocacy 2000, calls on the Parliament to take the necessary steps to ensure that, in the development of the Mental Health (Scotland) Bill, access to independent advocacy by individuals is implemented and that a duty is placed on health boards and local authorities to make provision for collective advocacy in hospitals and communities.As Dorothy-Grace Elder and I know, advocacy was a central concern during the Health and Community Care Committee's consideration of the Mental Health (Scotland) Bill.
