| Annotation | The Mental Health Foundation undertook a study exploring knowledge of decision-making by people who may lack capacity in the context of implementation of the Mental Capacity Act 2005. The author reviews this study, 'Whose decision? Preparation for and implementation of the Mental Capacity Act in statutory and non-statutory services in England and Wales', by Rowan Myron et al. The research casts light on practitioners' readiness to implement the Act, and their wanting to learn more about the legislation in order to serve carers and those personally affected. (RH). |
