Guidance: Deprivation of liberties: an update for hospices

Written by Hospice UK and National Council for Palliative Care, this update for hospices on the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards highlights the importance of a recent Supreme Court judgement on care of people who may lack capacity to consent to the arrangements.  It sets out ways in which hospices may wish to get involved or influence subsequent activity, and what actions they can be taken.
