Mental Health Bill [Lords]

I am rather perplexed by the hon. Gentleman’s argument. By and large, the people we are talking about will already be in the mental system. Unlike the Scottish system, this proposed system is more ““liberal”” in that people have to be detained in hospital before they can be subject to a CTO, so has it occurred to him that some patients might think that a CTO would guarantee them services they cannot receive because they have been discharged and will be forgotten until the next time they exhibit difficult symptoms?
