Mental Health Bill [HL]

I thank the noble Baroness for that reply. I hope that in her consideration she will take into account the fact that there may be family members who are involved in care but who do not feel that they have the expertise to manage financial matters. Complex financial matters may be in the hands of a professional, or even a solicitor, yet they still may be involved. We must make absolutely sure that they are not put out of the picture by professionals. I look forward to further clarification and I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
