This report into how the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards have been applied during 2012/13 cites concern that the MCA is not understood and implemented consistently across health and social care services. It announces that checks on implementation of the MCA will become a routine part of hospital and care home inspection. It also recommends that NHS England should include an expectation on the effective use of the DoLS into the standard contract for providers.
