Schedule 6
Mental Health Bill [Lords]
5:00 pm
Tim Boswell (Daventry, Conservative)
It is self-evident, I think, that the amendment more or less covers the population of people who might have an interest in the matter and is designed to ensure the issuance of a formal notice to the person concerned. If that person had others acting for them, such as an attorney under the Mental Capacity Act, would the notification to that person be available to the others who were acting on their behalf and how would it reach them? Has the procedure really been as comprehensively tied up as I am sure both the Minister and I would wish?
