Summary form the Guardian

I chose an article wrote by Paul Vaughan on Wednesday 15 August 2007. The headline is “Government extends dignity campaign to mental health patients”

The Britain’s government extends the “dignity care” campaign to the people with mental health difficulties. In fact, the care services minister Ivan Lewis commented the highly vulnerability and the discrimination who suffer this people. The English government will extend the campaign to incentive the social support to this people.

Paul Farmer, Mind's chief executive, said that this campaign can help to decrease the levels of discrimination. Besides, he explains that the people who receive a respectful and kindness treat could be getting an improvement in their mental ilness or esteem.

The campaign will be reformulated to include the old people who have mental difficulties. The extension of the campaign will focus on three key areas - tackling stigma, older people's mental health and acute inpatient care.

The announcement by Mr Lewis coincides with the recognition of the 1000th 'Dignity Champion', an event where many people claims improvements in the service that older people receive. Mr Lewis said one thousand people including volunteers, carers and professionals had signed up to the champion of the rights of older people in hospitals and nursing homes. “We genuinely need people like this to be the voice and ear of colleagues and professionals to promote dignity”, pointed out Lewis.

The first part of the campaign has a positive action with the people with mental illness and the government has the same hope in the campaign second’s part
