| Annotation | This booklet provides introductory information on the Mental Capacity Act 2005, and covers issues relating to the individual's capacity to make decisions now or in the future - that is, Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA), or previously Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA). However, it is not a statutory Code of Practice issued under the Act, and is not a guide to how the law will apply in specific situations. The Mental Capacity Implementation Programme (MCIP) is a joint government programme between the Department for Constitutional Affairs (DCA), the Department of Health (DH), the Public Guardianship Office (PGO) and the Welsh Assembly Government. The booklet was written by a team from the Making Decisions Alliance - in this instance from Mind, Scope, and Turning Point. (RH). |
