I have to agree with pretty much everything written above. I am a contract worker in the NHS who suffers with depression (current episode moderate, four years' duration). It is hard enough to offer the Client enough information to make the most informed decisions possible, without NHS managers adding "vetting and barring" to their toolbox.

I have overcome all the obstacles put in front of me over the last year at a PCT, to not simply deliver, but exceed expectations and innovate. I never feel lonely or bored, so don't really want to inherit an employer's view of "the package" experienced by those of us who seek to overcome mental illness.

Thanks for the opportunity to comment on an excellent blog, Richard!
