Speaking in the House of Lords on 31 March 2025

Debate

Mental Health Bill [HL]

Contribution

I am also pleased to commit to set out in regulations the need for clinicians to include a plan to help a patient make an advance choice document wherever appropriate, as part of their statutory care and treatment plan. We believe that this will facilitate the uptake of advance choice documents, which I know noble Lords are keen to see. More details on the intended coverage of the care and treatment plan can be found in the policy paper that I circulated before Report.
