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.
