Subject: Medical help for refugees
Dear Mr. Conaghan,
In
recent weeks, I have been deeply concerned to read about the treatment
of refugees from Manus and Nauru who have been brought to Australia for
urgent medical treatment. You will be aware, I’m sure, that the great
majority of them have been brought to Australia to receive treatment for
serious mental health problems, which are intrinsically related to
their feelings of hopelessness and despair after up to six years in
indefinite detention.
