Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when he plans to publish the findings of the consultation on Reforming the Mental Health Act.
On 13 January, we published the white paper ‘Reforming the Mental Health Act’.
The public consultation period on the white paper closed on 21 April. We are now analysing the consultation responses from the public and stakeholders. We will respond to the consultation this year, as part of our continuing work to develop a new Mental Health Bill.
