I wish to flag something in terms of sections 18, 23 and 47. I intend to bring forward further Government amendments regarding who can conduct capacity assessments in order to broaden the criteria from medical professional to broader categories of healthcare professionals to be prescribed by regulations. This will reduce costs for the relevant person and allow them to access less formal supports.
