Lord Scriven (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 14 January 2025

Debate

Mental Health Bill [HL]

Contribution

I have listened very carefully to the Minister about flexibility. Why is 12 months in the Bill? All I am trying to do is to change a statutory timeframe that the Government have put in the Bill to six months. That flexibility is not there because 12 months is in the Bill. I am trying to move that fixed point from 12 months to six months, regardless of what guidance says.
