@Capacitylaw The guidance somewhat appears at odds with the judgement seemingly lowering the bar for objection

[jeff barlow @barlowjeffm]

@vhartsw @CurrieLorraine @CMO_England But the Court of Protection seems to nearly always insist that a psychiatrist undertakes a capacity assessment in 21A proceedings

@studant47 @asifamhp Perhaps that’s the problem. You made yourself a target. Does it say social worker on the back?

[jeff barlow @barlowjeffm]

@JudithBarnes17 happy retirement Judith.

[jeff barlow @barlowjeffm]

@39EssexChambers @Gardner_FP Congratulations

[jeff barlow @barlowjeffm]

@cwwalsh2 Well deserved. Great move. Best of luck mate

[jeff barlow @barlowjeffm]

@TheSmallPlaces Am worried about you this and the mandatory requirements that require us to comply

[jeff barlow @barlowjeffm]

@TheSmallPlaces I appreciate it’s tough for care homes but lots of blanket decisions are made without any real scrutiny

[jeff barlow @barlowjeffm]

@TheSmallPlaces If exsisting DoLS in place and increase in restrictions should that not trigger a part 8 review?

[jeff barlow @barlowjeffm]

@nuwandiss Yes more than enough

[jeff barlow @barlowjeffm]

@TheSmallPlaces @LizBarkerLords I spoke to a home @ W/e at breaking point. Staffs &residents with C-19. Told they will only test x3 residents & to treat rest as +ve. We’re not getting the right figures

@TheSmallPlaces I had a conference place booked next week which has just cancelled. I suspect many such events will follow suit until we have a clearer picture of how this is going to impact. Many attendees are required to work in health and social care so risk shouldn’t be taken

[jeff barlow @barlowjeffm]

@NeilAllen39 Would you eat it neat or have ketchup with it? The govt did “get brexit done” so they say

[jeff barlow @barlowjeffm]

@cwwalsh2 Has been a pleasure working with you. All the best

[jeff barlow @barlowjeffm]

@Capacitylaw Obviously take safeguarding seriously at the OPG

[jeff barlow @barlowjeffm]

@TheSmallPlaces @BBCPanorama From what I saw the perpetrators of this abuse knew exactly what they were doing. It wasn’t down to ignorance or lack of training. These people should not be allowed near any vulnerable people. Wasn’t there qualified nurses working there?

[jeff barlow @barlowjeffm]

I think they make it up as they go along or am I being unfair?

[Lucy Series @TheSmallPlaces]

Interesting!! The government's response to @HumanRightsCtte seems to commit it to undertaking a review of whether LPS appeals should go to a tribunal or the COP! Will there be a consultation I wonder, or just an internal review? (Note also 'a tribunal', not 'the'...)

[jeff barlow @barlowjeffm]

@TheSmallPlaces Wouldn’t fancy writing that bit in the code. Should be interesting

[jeff barlow @barlowjeffm]

Also GP/dr I suspect it’s incorrect data recording rather than someone being detained for a filing or a check up?

[Lucy Series @TheSmallPlaces]

Puzzling over this old DoLS data (2014 report) - dentists?!
