answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2023 answer text <p>The difficult decision to delay the implementation of the Liberty Protection Safeguards was not taken lightly. We have done so to enable the Department, and local partners, to prioritise the reforms set out in the Next Steps to Put People at the Heart of Care plan. These include investment in the workforce, technology, and support for unpaid carers.</p><p> </p><p>These priorities, alongside the funding uplift of up to £8.1 billion over this year and next to strengthen adult social care provision, will drive forward our ambition of ensuring that everyone can access the right care, in the right place, at the right time. Until the Liberty Protection Safeguards come into force, the existing Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards, which form a key part of the Mental Capacity Act, remain in place and ensure that decisions are made in a person's best interests.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 28/11/2023 09:47:06 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/11/2020 answer text <p>Forms for processes under the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) are not prescribed in law. In 2015 the Department supported the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services and others to simplify and improve recommended forms. The number of forms was reduced from 32 to 13. These are available online should local authorities and others wish to use them to discharge their legal duties under DoLS.</p><p>The Government has published extensive guidance on the application of DoLS during the pandemic. This includes a single, shortened form for requesting an urgent and standard authorisation.</p><p>Although DoLS is due to be replaced by the Liberty Protection Safeguards, until then, it is vital that all bodies with legal duties under DoLS continue to operate these important safeguards to ensure the rights of people without relevant mental capacity are protected.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 03/11/2020 16:29:04 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately previous answer version 55754 answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately
