Usually, if a person cannot sign a consent form due to the fact that they may
have mental health problem etc,, guidance says that the key worker or relevant
health professional should get involved in order to obtain a signature.

I have received the following enquiry and to be honest - my heart just isn't
in it today!! Can anyone help? Please?
Thanks.
> During a meeting with a Housing and Health Group, one of the main topics

Any ideas?? What do others do?
Cheers.
