Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 April 2025

Debate

Mental Health Bill [HL]

Contribution

These existing duties and contractual requirements cover all the key responsibilities of the proposed responsible person role. The added benefit of having many of these requirements set out in the patient and carer race equality framework is that it can be updated more regularly than primary legislation. This allows us to take a more agile and iterative approach throughout the implementation of the Bill, to ensure that we do what noble Lords want the legislation to do: that is, capturing, reporting and acting on the right data and information from front-line services.
