This is a Bill that was drafted by the previous Tory Government, but taken over by the present "Labour" one, & has passed almost all its stages in the Lords & Commons - but it will not stop <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/autistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>autistic</span></a> & <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/learning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>learning</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/disabled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>disabled</span></a> people from being incarcerated in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mentalhealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mentalhealth</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/hospitals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hospitals</span></a> against their will, & far from their families, nor prevent them from being abused in them. The Bill may well breach the UN Convention on the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Rights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Rights</span></a> of Persons with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Disabilities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Disabilities</span></a>.</p>
