| Annotation | In the second part of this review of the relevance and use of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA) for people with dementia, carers and practitioners, the authors examine specific themes in the literature, starting with hospital practice. Other themes considered include: care home practice; social care at home; information and advice services; public perceptions; end of life care; and the Deprivation of Liberty safeguards (DoLS). While the Act has clarified principles and courses of action to be taken, its complexity has meant that much time has been taken in assimilating its content into training, work practices and the public consciousness.
