On Amendment 160BB, I agree that good continuity of care is vital, and improving that is a key objective of these reforms. The Bill introduces statutory care and treatment plans that aim to ensure that patients have a clear and personalised plan in place to progress them towards recovery. We intend the plan to cover how the patient will be supported and the services they will need in the community after discharge, and the content of the plan will be set out in regulations. We will commission an independent evaluation of the impact of these reforms and therefore do not feel that a separate report is required.
