Debate
Mental Health Bill [HL]Contribution
There is still time to consult with stakeholders, charities and, crucially, people with a learning disability and autistic people to ensure that a comprehensive and sufficient plan is drafted. All that could and should happen now; this is all needed to end the inappropriate detention of people with a learning disability and autistic people who do not have a coexisting serious mental illness. Amendment 68 simply requires that Section 3 comes into force after two years.
