AnnotationIn principle, Age Concern England (ACE) and Help the Aged support the proposal that Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) will be monitored by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) when these come into force in April 2009. This summary response notes that the safeguards aim to give greater protection to people who lack capacity to consent to care and/or treatment in either a hospital or a care home. (RH).
