Amendment 45, tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Tyler, would require a clinician assessing what constitutes appropriate medical treatment to take into account the setting in which the treatment is to take place. The noble Baroness asked about how it is ensured. I take her point about in-patient wards for people with LDA not undermining the aim of therapeutic benefit. I will be very pleased to write to her on that. This is a very important area, and I want to ensure that I have the opportunity to reflect properly on that and to offer comment on the mental health estate—again, points that were well made.
