Mental Health Bill [HL]Contribution
I am aware and have to acknowledge that the general response will very much be: “We’ve got ourselves into this mess. How do we get out of it?” The reason I have put forward this amendment to the Bill is to say that we have to acknowledge that this is an unstable and inadequate position: people are not getting the care they need and patients are not being cared for. We need to set out a road map to get to a different situation where we have healthcare delivered for the good of the public—the patients and the whole community—not for private profit.
