Conclusion
We welcome the Government’s decision to discontinue the Coronavirus Act’s Mental Health Act provisions, which potentially relaxed requirements for sectioning, against the grain of overdue and much-needed reforms, and which thankfully proved to be unnecessary in England. We will continue to push for progress towards implementation of our recommendations on Care Act and Children and Families Act provisions and guidance. (Paragraph 4) Access to food

We have clear rules for shops about making sure getting food is the same for everyone. We agree that shops should follow the rules. We are working with shops to make sure getting food is fair. We are working with shops, local authorities and charities to find ways to make sure everyone can get food during the Coronavirus emergency.
