Speaking in the House of Lords on 22 January 2025

Debate

Mental Health Bill [HL]

Contribution

The noble Earl, Lord Howe, raised concerns about the debriefing process after discharge from hospital. The code of practice provides guidance on the provision of information about the complaints process. The Bill will put this requirement on a statutory footing and place a duty on hospital managers to supply complaints information to detained patients, community patients and conditionally discharged patients, as well as their nominated person.
