Dear Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council,

Please could you provide the name of the organisation commissioned to deliver Independent Mental Capacity Advocacy (IMCA)?

a) If you hold data on the number of referrals made in 2016/2017 please could you provide information on how many times an IMCA was instructed in each decision:
i. Long term Change of Accommodation
ii. Serious Medical Treatment
iii. Review of the Accommodation decisions
iv. Safeguarding

b) If you hold data on the number of referrals made in 2016/2017, please could you provide information on how many times an IMCA DoLS was instructed within each of these:
i. 39A DoLS process
ii. 39C DoLS process
iii. 39D DoLS process.

If you hold data on the number of challenges to decisions (formal complaints and applications to Court of Protection) under the MCA made by IMCAs please could you provide these numbers for 2016/2017 as well?

Thank you for your help,

Yours faithfully,

K. Huijbers
