Clause 48
Health and Social Care Bill
3:00 pm
Stephen O'Brien (Shadow Minister, Health; Eddisbury, Conservative)
I have been mildly surprised by the Minister’s reassurance. I was moving towards pressing the amendment to a Division, but in the light of what he has said I am happy to withdraw it. I hope that there is some sense of the need to ensure, when the guidelines are issued, that the exchange that we have just had might be incorporated in them as an addendum to ensure that the Committee’s joint intentions are clear to those who follow on from the excellent practice currently performed by the Mental Health Act Commission. I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
