Does the Bill adequately cover the situation of someone with dementia, particularly if there is no court order or enduring power of attorney in place? Have we adequately covered all the problems that might arise? While the amendment is welcome it is also important that those situations are adequately catered for, particularly enduring power of attorney, and even powers of attorney, because there are circumstances in which a person may not have dementia or a health problem has signed a power of attorney for the management of his or her affairs, following legal advice. Is the Minister of State satisfied that we have covered all those angles?
