The Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act provides a statutory modern framework to support decision-making by adults with capacity difficulties. The Act was signed into law on 30 December 2015. Budget 2018 provided an allocation of €3 million for the Decision Support Service under a new subhead, D10, of the justice and equality Vote. The commencement of the provision of the Act is a matter for the Minister for Health. The work is ongoing with the Department on the necessary preparations.
