Overview
We previously consulted on the Capacity Policy from August to November 2020 – this consultation is to consult on the Bill.
This consultation is issued by the Department for the purpose of inviting interested parties to consider and comment on the proposed content of a draft Capacity Bill 2021, a Bill designed to create a modern and clear legal framework which safeguards the rights, dignity and wellbeing of people who may have lost the capacity to make decisions for themselves.
There are a number of questions throughout this consultation. They are there to guide you when responding and should not be taken to be prescriptive or restrictive; you are free to raise any points or make any comments that you believe to be relevant.
This consultation seeks views from everyone. We anticipate an interest from health and care practitioners, private sector organisations, voluntary and community sector organisations that provide services to people who may lack the capacity to make decisions as well as families who may also be impacted.
You can give us your views by filling out the consultation online by clicking on the 'online survey' link below. A paper copy of this consultation and the Capacity Bill can be accessed below under Related.
