Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 January 2025

Debate

Mental Health Bill [HL]

Contribution

Having said that, I will come back to the noble Lord, Lord Stevens, because I do not want to appear to be overly idealistic. If somebody is transferred to a mental health hospital—getting, I hope, very good care so that they are then well, or well enough—my concern is that if they return to a prison situation, where they will still need some medical support, they will not get it. Guess what will happen then? There will be a constant back and forth.
