    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support the Petition. I remember last week this House passed a Motion that sought to introduce mental health education at the primary level so that it becomes part of the curriculum in the country. Cases of mental health; issues of femicide and suicide need a serious discussion. Counsellors should be introduced so that people have access to them. It is important that the Departmental Committee on Health takes this matter urgently. There is also a Bill on mental health issues which is pending before the Departmental Committee on Health. It has not seen light of the House. It is a Government Bill that has not been brought here. I remember in the 11th Parliament we tried to have the Bill in our Committee and some petitions were made to withdraw the Bill. So, we hope this will be discussed as issues of mental health need to be given priority."
