The Making Decisions Alliance brings together a wide range of organisations and groups working with people who may, for a range of different reasons, have difficulty in making our communicating decisions. The two broad aims of the Alliance are to lobby the Government to introduce mental capacity legislation in the next Queen's speech by November 2003 and to increase awareness of the need for new legislation. After more than a decade of promising to act, the Government has not introduced legislation. This pack sets out the reasons why this situation cannot go on.

The Law Society, The Making Decisions Alliance and the British Medical Association all believe that the law does not provide proper protection to people who do not have the capacity to make their own decisions due to illness, injury, or disability. This charter calls new legislation on mental capacity.
