Another tragic case of Powers of Attorney abuse, which is ripping families apart. Since I introduced my Bill to Parliament, I have spoken with hundreds people across the country citing their own horrific experiences of this abuse. 1/3

My Bill would place a duty on banks to ensure that donors have mental capacity to consent, notify family and loved ones of a Lasting Power of Attorney, and force the Office of the Public Guardian to put freezing orders on those they are investigating. 2/3
Safeguarding our elderly and vulnerable must come first.
I’m having conversations with government Ministers in the hope that they support my Bill so we can prevent this abuse. 3/3
@BBCRadio4@SueM1tchell LPAs are not scrutinsed. The OPG are too slow. The Local Authority do nothing. This needs a full investigation and review. Everyone defaults to the LPA and noone goes against them. It is wrong.
@BBCRadio4@SueM1tchell How can I get bbc news coverage of my Mums issue please? I have tried sending a watts app message to the bbc last week with no reply. I have tried to get a solicitor. I have tried to get advocacy for my mum. The MDT meeting was a kangaroo court. My Mum is 94yrs.
@IanLangITVWales can you do a news item on this please. Horse sense Wirral do outstanding work to help old, sick, injured Carneddau ponies. They need to raise funds for the intake from this Autumn's pony gathering.
