Mental health might be changed, dropped from Bar application
Associated Press Published 11:24 AM EST Jan 24, 2019 Lansing – The Michigan Supreme Court is exploring whether to drop questions about mental health on the application for a Michigan law license.

PUBLISHED: 18:16 23 January 2019 | UPDATED: 18:25 23 January 2019 Hellesdon Hospital. Picture: DENISE BRADLEY Archant A cross-party group of MPs have demanded the “chaos and confusion must end” over the region’s failing mental health care provision. Seven MPs from Norfolk and Suffolk, representing the Conservatives, Labour, and the Liberal Democrats, have written to regulator NHS Improvement (NHSI) to slam the “unacceptable drift” in coming up with a plan for how to fix failings at Norfolk and Suffolk Foundation Trust (NSFT).NSFT was rated as inadequate for the third time in November - making it the worst mental health trust in the country.And despite cries for it to be placed into government control under special administration, or for the trust to be split up, this did not happen - and the MPs said they felt no more confident in change following a meeting with NHSI last week.
