So having asked GP to do a capacity assessment on my mother back in October 2017 and October 2018 still nothing. Mother has wee infection and via telephone GP has prescribed antibiotics. I went to pick up prescription and he agreed to see me. He kept going on about dis-ease. He asked whether it was my mother with the problem or me! Why did I think she had dementia - because her behaviour has not been normal for several years and is progressively worsening. He kept mentioning dis-ease and said it was probably her personality!!! Anyway, cut a long story short, at the end of the conversation he said that to get a capability assessment she would have to be in full agreement to it and it is not the case of just a piece of paper, it is now a 48 page form and has huge consequences! So I rather get the feeling that the GP is saying a) they can't be bothered to do it and b) they are not prepared to do it because of possible implications against them. Solicitor has said GP needs to do it, Social Services have said GP needs to do it. GP says they need to build a bond with my mother and see whether she would be willing to have any tests!!!!!!!!! Grrr.......................... Why would she have bothered to put both POAs in place all those years ago naming me as her attorney and for me not to be able to use them when I feel they will benefit her? Before I left he kept repeating dis-ease. So he is implying that all her forms of bad behaviour, forgetting stuff, muddling stuff up, etc. are not dementia and just her!
