@katemasters67 Indeed. But from April CQC has power to prosecute for treating without consent with a fine of up £50k for an NHS trust.

@C7RKY@katemasters67@DrCJohn@ShaunLintern what level of understanding equals consent? -

@C7RKY@katemasters67@ShaunLintern I am going along the more philosophical line that consent is a myth & we look for general understanding -
