MENTAL CAPACITY, ENGLAND

These Regulations adjust the obligation to make arrangements as to the availability of independent mental capacity advocates (“IMCAs”) which is imposed by section 35 of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (“the Act”). Under the Regulations, the Secretary of State may also make arrangements to enable IMCAs to be available to represent a person (“P”) who lacks capacity to agree to the outcome of an accommodation review or to protective measures taken in adult protection cases.
