On the 30
March 2017, The Edith Ellen Foundation with Leigh Day Solicitors held The
Mental Capacity Act Conference – What’s Right & What’s Wrong. A decade after the Mental Capacity Act came
into force across the United Kingdom it is very much back in the public domain
with open discussions across the Professional span, the conference was a review
of the Mental Capacity Act and the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS).
In March
2014, a House of Lords Select Committee published a detailed report concluding
that the DoLS were “not fit for purpose” and recommended that they be replaced. DoLS have been criticised since they were
introduced for being overly complex and excessively bureaucratic.
