Lords division · 10 Mar 2003 · No. 2

Community Care (Delayed Discharges etc.) Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Barker, in Clause 2, page 2, line 10, at end to insert: “and (c) has consulted with the patient (and in the case of a carer in relation to assessment under the Carers (Recognition and Services) Act 1995 (c. 12) and the Carers and Disabled Children Act 2000 (c. 16) to ascertain their views and preferences, informed them of the reason for the notification, and obtained their informed consent or in the case where a patient lacks the mental capacity to give such consent, has recorded on the file what steps have been taken to ensure that the patient’s best interests have been duly considered”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The party breakdowns are our own analysis of the official voting records (recorded votes only; they do not describe the formal whip). How we work this out.

Peers attend divisions ad hoc, so there is no did-not-vote list. Tellers are counted in the Content and Not Content totals, unlike in the Commons.

Tellers: Lord Cope of Berkeley (Content), Lord Clement-Jones (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Contents (140)
