Speaking in the House of Lords on 24 February 2025

Debate

Mental Health Bill [HL]

Contribution

I do not think that the issues of duplication are nearly as serious as some have said. The issue that concerns me the most, if I can be frank, is the reliance that some noble Lords place on the Care Quality Commission. Back on 29 July last year, the Secretary of State, Wes Streeting, described the Care Quality Commission as “not fit for purpose”, after a damning report which found significant failures with the regulator.
