Electro-Convulsive Therapy And Elderly People (EDM551)

Electro-Convulsive Therapy And Elderly People

EDM number 551 in 2001-02, proposed by Paul Burstow on 11/12/2001.

That this House is concerned about the disproportionate number of ECT patients who are elderly; notes that the Department of Health's Statistical bulletin reveals that 44 per cent. of female ECT patients were aged 65 years and over; calls upon the Department of Health to fund further research into the risks of complications arising from such treatment to patients within this age-group, in particular the effect on pre-existing physical conditions such as cardiovascular disease, and the impairment of memory and cognitive functions; and calls upon the Government to pay particular attention to strengthening the advocacy rights of elderly psychiatric patients, including the right to information and to withhold consent, when it brings a new Mental Health Act before Parliament, and to include such a section in the draft bill on regulating ECT.

This motion has been signed by a total of 48 MPs.
