Mental Health Facility, Declassified Documents, Autism, David Walliams

The government has this morning announced that the community mental health team facility is to be relocated from Coaling Island to Sir Joshua Hassan House, on Secretary's Lane. The announcement follows previous plans to move the CMHT to the old Gibraltar Chronicle Printworks. The facility aims to operate as a single point of access which will streamline communications between mental health professionals, external services and other stakeholders. Minister for Health Gemma Arias Vasquez explained the plans in greater detail. Recently declassified documents show that, following the 1988 IRA shootings, the British Government discussed withholding sensitive intelligence from the deceased's family lawyers when the matter came before the European Commission for Human Rights in 1994. Officials expressed concern about the disclosure of a document which referenced intelligence gathering operations in Spain.
