| Annotation | This guide is for people in Scotland with early stage dementia, and for people helping or caring for someone with dementia. It contains up-to-date information on the provisions of the Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000, including guardianship, intervention orders, medical decision-making and research, and on the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003. The guide also explains ways of helping with: financial and welfare matters; welfare benefits; community care; and long-term care. However, differences in legal provision between Scotland and the rest of the UK should be borne in mind. (RH) |
