Debate
Mental Health Bill [HL]Contribution
I am very pleased to say that all the organisations that have been lobbying us on this have stressed to us the importance of including housing in care and treatment reviews. One day, we will have not just legislation that is focused almost entirely on people who are detained or in acute hospitals but a mental health service that really is integrated between community services and acute services, and which is designed to stop people going into acute services, get them out as quickly as possible and return them. That is a long way off, but I hope to live to see it—I really do.
