Mental Health Bill [HL]Contribution
My second amendment is on the ability to apply to the county court such that a nominated person should not be allowed to take that job and that their name should be terminated. The Bill currently does not include anyone with parental responsibility for a child aged under 16, who can nominate somebody without consulting the parents and without the parents currently having any opportunity under the Bill to say that that is not a suitable person.
