The Mental Capacity Act 2005 provides for an IMCA to be appointed for people who lack capacity to make a particular decision about serious medical treatment or about where they live and who do not have family or friends who are appropriate to consult. Information about the Mental Capacity Act and IMCA can be found on the Department of Health and the Department of Constitutional Affairs websites.
