The draft Mental Capacity Bill aims to introduce a single, statutory framework for all situations where a decision needs to be made in relation to the care, treatment (for a physical or mental illness) or personal welfare, of a person aged 16 or over, who lacks capacity to make the decision for themselves. It aims to place greater emphasis on the need to support people to make decisions where they can, or provide alternative decision making mechanisms. It is a response to the recommendations of the Bamford Review into Mental Health and Learning Disability Services. The consultation also includes the draft provisions of the Bill relating to civil society, and sets out the proposed approach for those subject to the Criminal Justice system. It also contains a section on children and young people, to clarify how the new framework will apply to 16 and 17 year olds and deal with the issues relating to those under 16 years of age. The consultation will run from Tuesday 27 May until Tuesday 2 September. (Edited publisher abstract)
