A plan on how the Isle of Man's first Capacity Act will be implemented has been published by the Department of Heath and Social Care.
Health minister Claire Christian said: "This act provides a modern, clear, legal framework to shield the rights, dignity, and well-being of these individuals." The Capacity Bill had its first reading in the House of Keys in May 2022 and, after making its way through the legislative process, received Royal Assent in April 2023.The implementation plan outlines a timeline and four schedules: on lasting power of attorney, property and finance affairs, transitional provisions and savings, and minor and consequential amendments.
