I very much welcome these provisions. I would, however, propose to the Government that they should go somewhat further. The concern I have is that Clause 42 creates what amounts to a duty on the authorities to advertise the existence of ACDs, not a guarantee to make people aware of their right to create one. The duty on NHS England and ICBs to make information available does not amount to the same thing as ensuring that those who are eligible to create an ACD are informed of their right to do so and how best they can do it.
