I am grateful to the Law Society for drafting Amendment 5, which strengthens the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and gives more liberty to P, in the example used, in determining the treatment and assessment of an individual case. I strongly urge the Minister, who has been so helpful in her deliberations and communications on this Bill, not to step out of the frying pan and straight into the fire of the Mental Capacity Act and to adopt this amendment.
