 The UK government is bringing in a new law, the Mental Capacity Amendment Act 2019. The law will change the Mental Capacity Act 2005. The deprivation of liberty safeguards the Dolls scheme will stop. A new scheme will start called the Liberty Protection Safeguards, the LPS. The change from the Dolls to the LPS applies to England and Wales. However, Wales will have its own new laws about how to put the change into practice. Liberty means being free to control your own life and make your own decisions. When someone lacks mental capacity, they do not understand the decisions they need to make. When this happens, decisions need to be made on their behalf. The LPS protects people's rights and freedoms if they can't make all their own decisions and the only way to keep them or others safe is to restrict their freedom. As part of the new LPS, for people who lack mental capacity, health boards or local authorities will need to agree that someone can have their freedom restricted as part of their care, support or treatment. The LPS will apply to adults and young people aged 16 and 17. The LPS will apply in hospitals and registered care settings and many other places including people's own homes. The Welsh Government is consulting on how to put the LPS into practice in Wales. They have written four sets of regulations for the LPS and two plans. The Welsh Government is asking people to look at these. They want to know if you think the rules and plans they have written will work. You can find an easy-read version of the regulations and an easy-read consultation response form here.
