Read World wide via our web site www.quedgeleynews.com New procedures to help people with dementia How do you plan for the future if you are no longer able to make a decision? Gloucestershire County Council is promoting ways people can make plans for the future if they lose the ability to make decisions around their finances, health and social needs (known as mental capacity). Gloucestershire has recently developed a multi-agency Mental Capacity Act (MCA) Policy & Procedure, so that everyone working in health and social care can work on the same forms and processes. Many people, particularly those with conditions such as dementia, people with learning disabilities and people with brain injuries will at times be unable to make certain decisions. The MCA provides a simple way of assessing a person’s capacity. f a person is unable to make a decision for themselves, others will need to act in their ‘best interests’. The MCA provides a list of points to consider when making best interest decisions, including a new requirement for health professionals and others to consult family and close friends of a person who lacks capacity before making any decisions. While a person can still make decisions, they can plan ahead to write an advance decision where they can specify what sort of treatment they would not want to receive. Some people may also want to make clear their wishes for the sort of treatment they would like to receive. Or they can make a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) where their attorney can make welfare and/ or financial decisions on their behalf should they ever lose capacity to make certain decisions. Cllr Andrew Gravells, Cabinet member for health and wellbeing, said: “This isn’t something we really want to think about when we’re younger, but as we get older, some people will lose the capacity to make some important decisions that they’ll need to make about their lives. Planning ahead, and working with family and close friends, can be a really useful thing to do when thinking about the future.” David Pugh, MCA implementation manager for Gloucestershire, said: “I would encourage all adults in Gloucestershire to consider making an LPA.” Page 31 Dates to Remember this month......... 1 st St David’s Day – Patron Saint of Wales 8 th Commonwealth Day 17 th St Patrick’s Day – Patron Saint of Ireland 18 th Mothering Sunday - remember to treat your Mum! 20 th 1 st Day of Spring 25 th British Summer Time Begins – Clocks go forward 1 hour 30 th School Term 4 ends “AU-NATURELLE” BEAUTY AND NAIL SALON Newly opened local salon, offering a personal one to one service in beauty treatments including luxury manicures and pedicures, waxing, eyebrow shaping, semi-permanent eyelash extensions and nail extensions.
