Lord Beamish (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 January 2025

Debate

Mental Health Bill [HL]

Contribution

On that point, I welcome what my noble friend the Minister has announced, but the real problem is about housing, including specialist housing in different areas for individuals leaving secure units. That is not universal throughout this country, as people leaving mental health units are then having to travel long distances. Surely we need local plans, and that money going in locally to provide the housing needed.
