Mental Health Bill [HL]

Again, my Lords, I thank the Minister for her answer. It has been helpful to have this exchange, not least because it throws up the variety of circumstances to which this legislation applies. I suggest that the care of older people differs from that of younger people with learning disabilities. When the Minister was going through her examples, I was not sure exactly how the assessments could be made. There would have to have been a level of concern in order for a question of authorisation to have been raised, only for there to be the result that a person should either move to another care home—and how would they do that?—or remain where they were. That said, I understand what she says about the need to retain some flexibility, and therefore at this stage I will not press the matter, having raised it. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
