| Annotation | The Mental Capacity Advocacy Project (MCAP) began in October 2006 with funding from the Department of Health (DH) and Age Concern England (ACE). This leaflet lists the Project's aims, which, overall, are to empower and protect older people who lack mental capacity, by ensuring that their wishes are identified and met where possible, and that their rights and entitlements are protected. It draws attention to the resource materials available on the website (www.ageconcern.org.uk/AgeConcern/mhap.asp), and notes key messages and learning points so far. Four pilot sites run by local Age Concerns have been established: Blackpool (in partnership with N-Compass); Chelsea; Slough and Berkshire East; and Warwickshire. (RH). |
