Speaking in the House of Lords on 31 March 2025

Debate

Mental Health Bill [HL]

Contribution

This amendment is sensible. It seems to me that we cannot have a scenario where a person is treated for mental health conditions while they are serving a custodial sentence, but once released they are simply left without any help. Given the variety of conditions that those in prison may have, we cannot have a cliff edge of support that could cause harm to that individual and perhaps lead to them causing harm to others in the community.
