Closed Compulsory Mental & Physical MP & lord health check

Closed on

In the same principle that Olympians had their physical health checked, I would like to see mental and physical health checks for MPs and Lords. This is not a frivolous request.

There have been cases of MPs dying of heart attacks for instance in the past and I believe these could have been prevented with these kind of checks.

Similarly with mental health checks it is in everyone's best interest that an MP/lord is sound of mind.

You may re-word my request if you still deem it offensive in some way but please do not dismiss it as if I do not matter. I have AS.
