"This research paper provides background information on the current arrangements in Scotland for managing the personal welfare and finances of incapacitated adults. It considers the problems associated with the current arrangements and discusses the recommendations for reform made by the Scottish Law Commission in its Report on Incapable Adults and Draft Incapable Adults (Scotland) Bill. It also examines the Government’s response to the SLC’s recommendations, as set out in the consultation paper, Managing the Finances and Welfare of Incapable Adults, and provides an account of subsequent statements by the Scottish Executive announcing its plans to introduce legislation in this area in the first session of the Scottish Parliament, including the recently published policy statement, Making the Right Moves, which sets out, in broad terms, the Scottish Executive’s plans for legislation to protect the rights and interests of adults with incapacity. The Scottish Executive’s Bill will be published in autumn 1999, and will be entitled the Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Bill."
