Mental Health Act

Baroness Jolly Excerpts

Monday 29th October 2012 Lords Chamber

[Lord Lloyd of Berwick]

My Lords, perhaps I may speak later. I thought that the Liberal Democrat Benches wished to speak.

[Baroness Jolly]

My Lords, will the review look at whether the SHAs have made any approvals under any other legislation, such as the Mental Capacity Act?

[Earl Howe]

My Lords, the review by Dr Harris will take into consideration any lessons that need to be learnt. We have asked him to take into account any other possible lessons that we should take on board, particularly in the run-up to April 2013. However, I am happy to reassure my noble friend that her request will be passed on. If there is a relevance to the Mental Capacity Act, I will ensure that Dr Harris takes it into account.
