Baroness Merron (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 January 2025

Debate

Mental Health Bill [HL]

Contribution

We need to be considering that as one of the scenarios and I would certainly be very glad to give the noble Baroness and noble Lords a more considered response to the very important point that has just been raised. Under this policy, an approved mental health professional would terminate their appointment if the nominated person is not acting in line with the patient’s interests. I really wish to emphasise this. For all these reasons and the responses I have given, I hope that the noble Baroness will feel able to withdraw her amendment.
