Summary
The DoLS framework is contained in Schedule 1A to the Mental Capacity Act (MCA) 2005 and applies to all hospitals (general and psychiatric) and care homes (including private care homes) but not to deprivation of liberty in supported living, shared lives, and private and domestic settings. The hospital and care home must apply for authorisation of deprivation of liberty from the ‘supervisory body’ (local authorities in England and in Wales but to the Local Health Board for hospital deprivation of liberty in Wales).
