Italy is to stop restraining mental
patients, Health Minister Roberto Speranza said Friday.
Speranza said a preliminary accord had been reached with
regional governments, which control local health services, to
end restraints on psychiatric patients.
Speaking to the Second National Conference on Mental Health,
Speranza also said "answers have not always been up to the mark
on mental health" and that there would be "no resilience or
recovery without mental health.
"We are working to give more resources to mental health", he
said.
