Dear Rosemary, I'm not sure if your mother was regarded as having capacity at the time, but if so, then what you describe is a criminal assault, imho. Licensed or unlicensed, no such grey area exists in consent law to my knowledge. Proving it can be a whole other matter of course

According to senior consultant at inquest the patient or family have no say it's a medical decision he played god didn't even try to treat mam once he got results photos back made decision EOLC LCP DNR advanced directive dnr without discussion with mam or family heartbreaking

If someone has capacity it is most definitely NOT a medical decision to impose treatment. Even if they don't like the patient's decision, they must respect it. Including refusal. That's my understanding anyway.

Patient can refuse treatment at any stage.

I never had cause to go looking further back, but are you saying that there were no guidelines on consent to examination or treatment prior to 2008/9, Ann? I'd be astonished to learn that was the case.
