I move amendment No. 186:

In page 44, line 31, after "professionals" to insert ", or other relevant experts,".

This amendment would broaden the categories of a person from whom a court would seek expert reports on a person with capacity difficulties so the assessment of a person's capacity would not be based exclusively on a medical model. The expert could be a social worker, social care professional or other relevant expert.
