This consultation seeks to explore views on a range of proposals, whose scope primarily covers: the assessment and treatment in mental health hospitals for people with learning disability or autism; adult care and support, primarily for those with learning disability but also for adults with autism (and the links to support for children and young people); and all those to whom the Mental Health Act currently applies (including children and young people). The proposals are intended to establish and strengthen key rights and choice options, including: the right for people with learning disabilities, autism and mental health conditions to be independent, to be part of a community and to live in a home of their choice; the right to be listened to, to have their wishes acted upon and the right to challenge decisions about them; their rights under the Mental Health Act; the right to control their support and services with a personal budget and the right to benefit from integrated health and social care; and access to better information about who is responsible for supporting their physical as well as their mental health. The consultation closes on 29 May 2015. (Edited publisher abstract)
