Between March and May 2015, the Department of Health asked people and organisations to share their views about strengthening the rights and choices of people to live in the community, especially people with learning disabilities, autism or mental health conditions. This document summarises the main trends in responses to the consultation. There were 481 responses to the consultation: half came from individuals or families, and half from organisations or groups. Most responses from individuals were from service users or family members and carers. Most responses from organisations were from voluntary sector groups, followed by local authorities and the NHS. The responses covered a range of themes, including: being part of the community; being listened to; the Mental Health Act 1983; budgets and finances; and physical and mental health.

The Mental Capacity Act is scheduled for full implementation from April 2007. It provides a framework setting out who can take decisions in respect of those individuals who because of the nature of their dementia, brain injury, mental health problems or learning difficulties may be unable to make their own decisions. A consultation is being held on two aspects relating to sections 30-34 which set out the framework for research with such individuals. Research is defined as ‘inclusive research’ and includes social care research studies. Views are sought on the arrangements for appointing the ‘appropriate body’ that approves such research, and on the arrangements for people in longer term studies who agreed in the past but have now lost capacity.
