Chris writes to government to reform the Mental Capacity Act

Last week, I presented Christopher’s Law to Parliament, which would tighten safeguards in the Mental Capacity Act, potentially saving countless lives. I spoke about three mothers. Each one has tragically lost a son due to failings in this Act. Earlier this year, the government committed to reviewing and reforming this law, so I have written to them, alongside these three mothers, calling on them to make time for a second reading of Christopher’s law, which realises this commitment.
