Proceeding contribution from Baroness Meacher (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 26 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Mental Health Bill [HL].
Mental Health Bill [HL]
My Lords, I am obviously disappointed at the Minister’s response. I hope that we can discuss negotiating with the Home Office to improve responsibility for the police arriving at these scenes. It seems to a number of people involved that the police are the key here—if they arrive, the ambulances will arrive. If the police see their responsibility as being available for these emergencies, that will be very helpful.
