Latest article on mental capacity, the importance of this area, and how capacity is assessed.
Many people have contacted me asking about this issue with respect to capacity under the Assisted Dying Bill. However, whilst I have touched on this in the article, I have written it from a capacity issue more generally, as I think this will be invaluable to people, given what may be to come in the future.
I mention the MCA Code of Practice in the article, and I have provided a link to it. I think everyone should have a copy of this document and I am sure that many people will find it helpful, particularly if they are grappling with a vulnerable relative with medical or care issues. People will notice if they read the code, just how much the law was broken in the area around best interests during the Convid period. Yet no one has been held to account.
Given how such principles were abandoned with glee during Convid, I have zero belief that assisted suicide could ever be delivered safely, and I KNOW that there are not enough medical professionals with enough time to properly assess anyone's mental capacity for assisted death. My belief is that they will actually end up getting lawyers to do the capacity assessments as they already perform these routinely with clients. They will of course be paid a fee if so, and it will become a lucrative form of work for them, which is gross. We shall have to see if I am right about this in the future.
Anyway I digress - hope the article helps anyone dealing with the issues touched on:

When it gets hot, my thoughts always revert to Tbilisi, the city serenaded so well by young Elene Lekveishvili.

Anybody got any background to this story? What is Pashinyan up to?
Seems he's going after church leaders in Armenia
