Proceeding contribution from Baroness Ashton of Upholland (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 27 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Mental Health Bill [HL].


Mental Health Bill [HL]

moved Amendment No. 81: 81: Schedule 6 , page 107, line 41, leave out ““medical records”” and insert ““records relating to the care or treatment of persons”” The noble Baroness said: My Lords, Amendment No. 81 makes it quite clear that the body monitoring the operation of these safeguards has the authority to require the production of, and to inspect, the records that they need to see in order to fulfil their role. It replaces ““medical records”” with, "““records relating to the care or treatment of persons””." The amendment would put it beyond doubt that the monitoring body has the right to see any relevant records, including care records, care plans and needs assessments. I beg to move. On Question, amendment agreed to. Schedule 8 [Amendments relating to new section 4A of, & Schedule A1 to, Mental Capacity Act 2005]:
