Baroness Buscombe (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 January 2025

Debate

Mental Health Bill [HL]

Contribution

My Lords, I want to add to what the noble Baroness just said. Amendment 139 goes to the heart of the Bill in terms of changing the culture and the way that we treat people. The Bill will become a piece of law that is practical only if we can honestly put hand on heart and say that we will substantially increase community-based services. Without that, it will not deliver that which we all believe will be the minimum to improve people’s lives.
