Abstract:
In their final article on the Mental Capacity Act 2005, Richard Griffith and Cassam Tengnah consider the impact on district nurse practice of Lasting Powers of Attorney that allow a person to appoint one or more people to make decisions concerning their personal welfare, property and affairs, should they become incapacitated in the future. This can include for the first time in England and Wales since 1959 the ability to appoint another to make consent to treatment decisions on their behalf that will be legally binding.
