Eric Pickles tells survivor of alleged child abuse: 'Adjust your medication'
Mental health campaigners aghast as minister recorded shouting at alleged child abuse survivor
'adjust your medication'
Eric Pickles has been criticised for furthering mental health prejudices after he told a survivor of
alleged child abuse to "adjust your medication" when she accused him of ignoring her.
The Communities and Local Government minister made the comment in a recorded confrontation with
constituent Teresa Cooper earlier this month. Ms Cooper was one of at least six women who say they
were drugged as teenagers at the Kendall House care home, Kent, in the late 1970s and early 1980s
, whose children now have genetic defects.

Confronting Mr Pickles, who is her constituency MP, she said: "Nothing has changed on the Kendall
House abuse. Only you have ignored it. You have ignored it." Pickles then interjected, shouting: "just,
just, adjust your medication".
