Additional legal safeguards called the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) came into force in 2009 (these are described in Chapter 4). The MCA applies to anyone over the age of 16 (and in some specific situations can apply to people of any age) although some parts of the MCA only apply to people aged 18 and over. It establishes principles, processes and structures to support people to make decisions for themselves wherever possible, and it can also make a decision on behalf of someone who lacks the mental capacity to make it for themselves, due to illness, injury or disability.
1 Mental capacity – the ability to make decisions – is an issue that affects everyone. Anyone might fall ill or have an accident which leaves them unable to make decisions for themselves. As many as 2 million people in England and Wales have an illness, injury or disability that may result in them being unable to make decisions, either temporarily or permanently. This includes people affected by: • •• •• •• mental illnesses dementia delirium learning disabilities (and some learning difficulties and developmental disabilities such as autism) •• neurological conditions such as brain injuries or other conditions that cause confusion, drowsiness or loss of consciousness •• concussion or coma following an injury •• alcohol and drugs (including prescribed treatments).
The MCA applies to all paid staff involved in dealing with mental capacity issues, including nurses and other health and social care professionals, as well as support workers, care assistants, other non-professionally aligned staff and volunteers. It applies to staff working in the NHS and local authorities, as well as in private and voluntary organisations. It also applies to families and friends caring for relatives who may lack capacity, and anyone undertaking research with people who lack capacity.
