Speaking in the House of Lords on 31 March 2025

Debate

Mental Health Bill [HL]

Contribution

I also suggest this procedure should apply when a child is placed out of area and is held for an extended period. In other words, the whole issue around children in mental health hospitals runs wider. It is not just the CQC that should be under the spotlight. It should also be the local authority, which has the job of ensuring that children’s well-being is protected.
