Our GP practice is unable to provide formal mental capacity assessments or complete paperwork relating to financial Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) applications.

This type of work:

• Is outside the scope of our NHS General Medical Services (GMS) contract
• Is not commissioned or funded by our Integrated Care Board (ICB) as part of core GP services
• Requires specific training and separate professional indemnity , which our GPs do not hold for this non-NHS work

Given the significant pressures on general practice, we must prioritise our core NHS clinical duties to patients. 

For formal capacity assessments or completion of financial LPA documentation, you will need to seek an appropriately trained and indemnified professional, such as:

• A solicitor with experience in Court of Protection / LPA work
• A specialist clinician or independent practitioner who offers this service privately

We appreciate your understanding as we focus our limited resources on essential NHS care

Patient data from GP medical records kept by GP practices in England is used to improve health, care and services through planning and research, helping to find better treatments and improve patient care. The NHS is introducing an improved way to share this information – called the General Practice Data for Planning and Research data collection.  

You can use this online service to:

• choose if your confidential patient information is used for research and planning
• change or check your current choice

Any choice you make will not impact your individual care.

The latest information on the GPDPR, including what information is obtained and how to opt-out of sharing your information, can be found here.
