Baroness Barker (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 January 2025

Debate

Mental Health Bill [HL]

Contribution

The crucial question that the noble Baroness is asking is around which staff can access this information and where. That means that the information in the ACD has to be always available to whoever is seeing the patient, wherever they happen to be. Does that mean that, as in palliative care, the ACD will become part of an electronic patient record, and that there will be an expectation that all practitioners, wherever they are, will refer to it all the time?
