2013 DEC 2 The House of Lords Committee READ about the meeting taking place tomorrow 3rd of December 2013. Having spent the past six months hearing evidence from those directly affected, their carers, doctors, lawyers, care homes, local authorities, regulators and the judiciary, among many others, the Committee will next week challenge Ministers on why widespread non-compliance is going apparently unchecked. The Committee will ask what the Government is doing to achieve the ‘revolution in public attitudes and practice’ expected as a result of the Act; to fix the failure to apply safeguards to those who may be deprived of their liberty in care homes and hospitals; to improve professional practice, holding to account those who fail; and to ensure that the NHS responds effectively to the MCA and that the Court of Protection is fit for purpose. parliament.uk/business/committees/committees-a-z/lords-select/mental-capacity-act-2005/news/ev17---mcnally---lamb/
