NICE quality standard on decision-making and mental capacity

This quality standard covers decision making for people aged 16 and over, using health and social care services who may lack capacity to make their own decisions (now or in the future). It aims to support implementation of the aims and principles of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and relevant Codes of Practice. It is not a substitute for these.

It is for commissioners, service providers, social care, health and public health practitioners, and the public.
