| Annotation | The Department of Health (DH) consultation referred to makes proposals about whether to increase the amount of time an advocate could spend on a decision, whether to include people who have friends or family, or whether an advocate should be provided on request by any party involved in the decision. Age Concern England (ACE) calls for a strategy to ensure that there is capacity to provide a full range of advocacy services in the context of the emphasis of choice and independence. ACE expresses concern that many people will have no right to an advocate. A full version of the response is available on ACE's website. (RH). |
