Mental Capacity Assessments
Leicestershire County Council were handling the finances of Service Users who lack the Mental Capacity to manage their own finances and have nobody else who can help. The Authority were acting on behalf of a number of Service Users who had either not had their Mental Capacity assessed or had it assessed a significant length of time ago. The Authority had identified 500 Service Users that required an assessment of their Mental Capacity to ascertain their ability to be able to handle their own finances.
In May 2018 Flex360 were successfully awarded via a competitive tender to provide a flexible and cost effective service to conduct 500 service user Mental Capacity Assessments within a six month period through our experienced Project Management Service.
