Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 January 2025
Debate
Mental Health Bill [HL]Contribution
Evidence was given to us by Dr Lucy Stephenson and Professor Claire Henderson about an amazing app developed for the world of palliative care that somebody towards the end of their life can have attached to their phone—I believe that in the United States they even have a way of attaching it to a person’s clothing—so that, if they collapse in the street or are in crisis, the app can provide an immediate way for whoever is responding, whatever that person’s position, to find out everything they need to know about that person. It links to the advance choice documents, which I know the Minister knows I have a passionate view on in addition to the need for data on all this.
