Debate
Mental Health Bill [HL]Contribution
As others have said, the Bill now moves to the other place, certainly in an improved state—I think about what has happened around racial disparities and restrictions on the renewals of community treatment orders—but still with room for further strengthening, as there remain several notable omissions. I look forward to seeing how that transpires in the other place and, when the Bill reaches the statute book, what role this House is able to play in monitoring implementation. Implementation will be key.
