{"Image DocumentName": "What to look for in an assessment?", "Image ImageDescription": "Was expert help with the assessment of capacity required and was it sought? This could be provided by a psychiatrist, psychologist or speech and language therapist. Whether or not expert help was provided, responsibility for ensuring that an assessment is carried out remains with the decision-maker. The health and care staff supporting your relative should have received training to carry out assessments of capacity. Health and social care services must be able to show how they carried out an assessment. Where a major decision is to be made, details of the assessment should be written down. If your relative has a care plan, it should set out how issues of capacity are dealt with.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
