GSL arrangements
13.1 When someone requires end of life care, GSL will review the My Shared Lives Plan to reflect the person’s wishes for palliative care, end of life care and planning, other wishes and medical recommendations.
If the person lacks capacity to make these decisions or capacity is in doubt, GSL will follow the Mental Capacity Act (MCA) Policy | Gloucestershire County Council
13.2 Carers have the right to withdraw from an arrangement if they do not wish to be involved in end of life care.
