Abstract

Decisions made by doctors on behalf of patients who lack capacity are currently made according to accepted best practice and common law principles. The Mental Capacity Act 2005 (the Act) sets this approach in statute law, providing protection for incompetent patients and clear legal requirements for those caring for them.
