Care Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Masham of Ilton (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 16 October 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Care Bill [HL].

My Lords, it is vital that people with mental illness have adequate aftercare. I ask the noble Lord, Lord Patel of Bradford, if his Amendment 128A would cover such cases as the tragic case of the schoolgirl who was travelling by bus to school and was killed by a person who was mentally ill. There should be more protection for the public, who are at risk of mentally ill people who are let loose in the community without adequate aftercare and supervision. It is vital that people have aftercare, otherwise we will have more and more disasters.
