Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 12 October to Question 55038, on Mental Capacity: Equality, if her Department will conduct an equality impact assessment on the operation of Deprivation of Liberty Orders.
We have no plans to do so. We recently consulted on the proposals for the Liberty Protection Safeguards and published an equality impact assessment alongside this consultation.
