Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle (GP)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 January 2025

Debate

Mental Health Bill [HL]

Contribution

I welcome what the Minister has said about the pilots and the significant changes being made to existing mental health services. Short of someone putting down an Oral Question or securing a debate, how will Parliament be able to monitor that? We know that, in the health service and more broadly, successful pilots happen but then disappear without trace and never get implemented. How will Parliament be able to assess progress from the pilot stage to implementation, along with broader changes? What mechanisms are there?
