Proceeding contribution from Baroness Ashton of Upholland (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 17 January 2007. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Mental Health Bill [HL].
Mental Health Bill [HL]
I did not suggest for a minute that it was a technicality—I know that the noble Baroness is not accusing me of that. It is a critically important issue. The point I was making was that it is done in order to provide high quality safe care for someone, not as either some kind of punishment or detriment to their life. It is a necessity to keep them safe and secure to provide high quality care.
