I'm posting this for anyone considering applying for POA for health and welfare. Please consider applying for it, as well as POA for finance and property. I know it's an extra expense, but when your loved one loses capacity, it's well worth having.

I've had to apply for copies of Mum's medical notes - without it, it would have been a challenge to get hold of them. Medico-legal issues are not something you think about when your loved one is first diagnosed; but none of us can predict the future.
