Biography
Lord Paddick made two debate speeches on health and social care topics. He raised concerns about the "right care, right person" policy, which directs police away from mental health incidents, and sought assessment of its impact on those experiencing mental health issues. He also engaged with broader public health themes in the context of policing reform and British values.
