@C7RKY@doctorcaldwell@katemasters67 working on assumption P lacks capacity when CPR reqd see s25(5) for AD and s5 for general cover 1/2 -
@C7RKY@doctorcaldwell@katemasters67 2/2 the statement by P is a however a relevant consideration for the best interests decision itself -
@Stephenpublic17@doctorcaldwell@katemasters67 Those are both sections of MCA though? This scenario involves a decision made with capacity. -
@C7RKY@doctorcaldwell@katemasters67 hope we are on same page. How many patients have capacity at the point where CPR actually needed? -
@Stephenpublic17@doctorcaldwell@katemasters67 None, clearly. This was where DNACPR decision previously agreed, but subsequently ignored. -
@C7RKY@doctorcaldwell@katemasters67 is a signif change from pre-MCA where AD's binding without need for any formalities -
@C7RKY@doctorcaldwell@katemasters67 and, in practice, reasonableness of CPR cld be questionned if prev agreed with P not to do it -
@Stephenpublic17@doctorcaldwell@katemasters67 Agreed. Tricky area, given the law rightly recognises the conversation, not a form, as key.
