A Dutch documentary about a mentally ill and potentially dangerous 18-year-old was in Holland legislators - in the middle of national indignation - to reassess their treatment in psychiatric treatment.
The documentary, which was produced by the Evangelical Lutheran Church-term Broadcasting Corporation and broadcast on public television Tuesday, followed by Brandon van No, a patient in a psychiatric hospital in Ermelo. Since 2007, one van spent part of his days attached to a wall because of the danger it poses to others, as the Secretary of State for Public Health Marlies van Zanten Veldhuijzen-Hyllner.
"Question of Brandon is so serious that should be limited in their freedom for their own safety and that of others," Van Zanten-Hyllner wrote in a letter to parliament. "For this reason, Brandon makes constant use of a band that binds in the presence of its employees and other visitors. If no show one night and the band loose."
In response to the documentary, which held the country's political parties to emergency meetings on Wednesday to discuss mental health care.
Van Zanten-Hyllner addressed these meetings, explaining that the van remand was consistent with the rules of detention of psychiatric patients, but promised to consider whether a change is necessary.
"The mission has touched me deeply," she wrote in the letter to parliament. "It is outrageous that this young person in his life before him, has so little hope for a better future."
Van Zanten-Hyllner note that no van, apparently meant voices telling him to "bad and dangerous thing," has his own apartment, where he can roam freely.
Alternatives to hospital care van Ingen, van Zanten, Hyllner wrote, "and the company is constantly trying to improve the situation of life."
The "straight talk", learned about the history of Van Ingen of one of his guards in the hospital.
"I could not make these changes," said Iris Mouritsen in the program. "Changes have been well supported, but being with him in a room - I think at some point, he felt that the bottom of my toes I could not see to the left."
Van Ingen mother in the care of a "caged animal."
"It feels like a dog on a line," she said.
Heerenloo hospital made a statement on Saturday to ensure the institution of the family as van Ingen is an exceptional case, and is responsible for the majority of patients receiving care.
The health inspectors said Thursday that they would "investigate cases in which they take freedom away from patients in a similar situation in Brandon."
Van Zanten-Hyllner said there are about 40 cases similar to one van is in Holland.
