Chinanews, Jan. 10 - According to the Procuratorial Daily, Zhang Yin,
deputy director of the Legislative Affairs Office affiliated to Standing
Committee of the Beijing Municipal People's Congress, revealed recently
that the committee was planning to constitute "regulations on mental
health."
Zhang indicated that as incidents of mental health occurred from time to
time in recent years, Beijing Municipal People's Congress considered
legislating the "regulations on mental health" to care for public mental
health, prevent occurrence of social tragedies and improve life quality
of Beijing citizens.
During the Chinese society's transition period at present, social
conflicts and pressure on competition are on the rise. Moreover, due to
faster pace of life and work and other social factors, mental disease has
become a quite serious disease among China's categories of illness.
Expenditures on mental disease are estimated to account for one fourth of
the country's total in 2020. Therefore, related experts believe that
there is no time to delay to legislate on mental health.
Zhang Yin said that in addition to "regulations on mental health,"
Beijing Municipal People's Congress will also establish regulations on
letters and calls in line with the city's practical situations and
relevant regulations of the State Council so as to acquaint Beijing
citizens with channels of letters and calls to express their opinions.
Beijing Municipal People's Congress will also formulate energy-saving
solutions in keeping with the city's stern situation of energy supply and
current capacities and conditions.
