While the evidence we have received supports the view that rushing implementation of the Bill could undermine efforts to improve the treatment of autistic people and people with learning disabilities, we also note that the implementation of other substantial changes in the law in this area have suffered from excessive delays. Most obviously, the Mental Capacity (Amendment) Act 2019, which provides for the replacement of DoLS with Liberty Protection Safeguards, has still not been brought into force. An uncertain target of implementation “where there are strong community services in place” provides little reassurance. Those affected have already waited a long time for this reform and the Bill must not be allowed to lie fallow. (Conclusion, Paragraph 59)
