Health and Social Care Bill

I thank the Minister for that reply. I am sure that noble Lords will understand that the basis for these amendments is that the Mental Health Act Commission has had nothing else to do except collect data, analyse information and ensure that the human rights of detained patients are respected. We are therefore seeking to ensure that the Care Quality Commission, when it faces many competing aims and objectives, should have these issues at the forefront of its collective mind. I am somewhat reassured by what the noble Baroness has said and I shall look at her response more carefully, particularly in relation to information gathering. We must remember that we are now to have community supervision orders, information about which will not fall naturally to a particular institution to be collected. We must be absolutely clear that it does not fall away from central observation and analysis. For the moment, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendments Nos. 52 and 53 not moved.]
