Speaking in the House of Lords on 22 January 2025

Debate

Mental Health Bill [HL]

Contribution

As far as greater transparency goes, part of the remedy may lie in the lap of the CQC. In part to assist the CQC, I suggest in Amendment 95 that, after discharge from hospital, there is a place for a debriefing process, whereby children in particular are given an opportunity to feed back their experiences during their time as in-patients—first, as a way of holding institutions accountable and, secondly, to enable those individuals to heal from those experiences by being listened to and taken seriously.
