"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 measures contained in the Scottish Executive’s Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Bill (SP Bill 5), as introduced in the Scottish Parliament on 8 October 1999.Existing arrangements for managing the affairs of adults with incapacity were considered recently by the Scottish Law Commission, culminating in its Report on Incapable Adults, published in 1995,which contained recommendations for reform and a Draft Incapable Adults (Scotland) Bill. The Government’s response to these recommendations was set out in a 1997 consultation paper, Managing the Finances and Welfare of Incapable Adults. The contents of both of these publications are examined in Research Paper 99/07 (Adults with Incapacity), published on 1 September 1999.Research Paper 99/07 also considers the Scottish Executive’s 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."
