Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) (Amendment) Bill 2022: From the Seanad
Dail Éireann — 2022-12-14
============================================================

Roderic O'Gorman (GP), Dublin West

Amendment No. 8 provides for single capacity assessment under section 29 of the Act of 2015 in line with other capacity assessments required under Part 4. This will ensure only one statement of capacity is required by either a registered medical professional or a class of healthcare professionals to be prescribed by regulation. This will reduce the number of capacity assessments required under Part 4, making it more straightforward for the relevant person to put in place a code decision-making agreement.
