Clause 34 - Appointment of independent consultees
Mental Capacity Bill
4:45 pm
Ms Rosie Winterton (Minister of State, Department of Health; Doncaster Central, Labour)
I was trying to say that some advocacy services can be commissioned by social services, and that would still be possible given what has been proposed for the independent consultee services. The people involved are not necessarily social workers, but they might be part of organisations commissioned by social services to provide advocacy services.
