The hon. Gentleman raises an important point, because there is no reason at all for the dissimilarity—for the general consultation to take 12 weeks and the consultation on mental health partnerships to take only five weeks. The overview and scrutiny process for mental health partnerships should be just as long because the mentally ill need more time to adjust to the changes that will be brought on them and those making representations on their behalf need more time to make their case.
