I move amendment No. 241:

In page 65, between lines 2 and 3, to insert the following:“(7) (a) An informal decision-maker shall at all times act according to the known will and preferences of the relevant person.

(b) The will and preferences will be assumed to be known to the informal decisionmaker where—

(i) the informal decision-maker is aware, from personal experiences, of the will and preferences of the relevant person, or

(ii) there is evidence, which the informal decision-maker is aware of, or ought to be aware of, that indicates the will and preferences of the relevant person.

(c) An informal decision-maker shall not be subject to this subsection where the action relating to the known will and preferences of the relevant person is contrary to the informal decision-maker’s duties under section 54(3) of this Act.”.
