Annotation | This booklet provides introductory information on the Mental Capacity Act 2005, legislation which will apply to all who work in health and social care and who are involved in the care, treatment or support of people aged 16 and over who live in England and Wales and who are unable to make all or some decisions for themselves. However, the booklet 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 publisher, 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 National Care Association, a member of the. Making Decisions Alliance. (RH) |
