Debate
Mental Health Bill [HL]Contribution
The noble Earl, Lord Howe, made an important point about the need for transparency and empowerment. We certainly agree with that aim and there are a number of measures in the Bill to make improvements: for example, the clinical checklist, the compelling reason criteria and the increased oversight by the second opinion appointed doctor. I hope that this will deal with the point about transparency and empowerment.
