Mental Health Bill [HL]

Just to correct that, I was referring to the fact that we have flexibility within the primary legislation to allow us to make changes. I think that the noble Baroness is right about the number of times that that has happened, but that does not mean to say that future changes cannot be made. I was simply seeking to point out that the people who drafted the 1983 Act got it right by providing the framework that allows us more flexibility than if we had to change primary legislation.
