Baroness Watkins of Tavistock (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 January 2025

Debate

Mental Health Bill [HL]

Contribution

My Lords, as an ex-community mental health nurse, I wish in particular to support Amendment 139. I am convinced that we need appropriate ratios of such staff to deliver preventive services in the community as well as ongoing support. We need to remember that the NHS rests in the future on preventing rather than treating, and this is an important amendment that acknowledges that.
