There is a point in this process where integrated care boards and NHS England should be involved, which is when the risk registers are created. At that critical point when a named person is listed in a risk register, they should surely be made aware of the need to produce an advance choice document and be invited to do so. That then puts the onus of making sure that that communication is made on to the NHS, but that is the critical point at which it should be made. It seems the right place: if you put somebody’s name on a risk register you should surely say at that point, “And we should really make sure they’re aware that this is something that they should be doing”.
