9:30 am
Mr Paul Burstow (Shadow Secretary of State for Health, Health; Sutton and Cheam, Liberal Democrat)
I beg to move amendment No. 164, in clause 9, page 5, line 11, after 'capacity', insert
'where the authority of the donee has been limited to either one of (a) or (b).
(1A) There is no presumption that the donee can make decisions on behalf of P or the donees' views should take precedence over others who are consulted in relation to matters that relate to (a) if the donee's authority is limited to (b) and (b) if the donee's authority is limited to (a).'.
