One of the main concerns is those draft codes of practice making provision, for example, for a bank teller to refuse somebody their money in a bank. That flies in the face of the whole purpose of the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act 2015. They were the concerns we heard at the committee from DPOs that said they were not engaged with. That would be assuming incapacity rather than assuming capacity. The DPOs we engaged with were extremely put out by that, understandably, and so was the committee.
