The coroner's concerns
1. lack of reliable routine liaison between Adult Social Care and care providers
“when concerns are raised about a service-user's capacity there is not reliable and routine liaison between Adult Social Care and the care providers”
2. failure to account for variable and fluctuating capacity
“consideration of capacity by Adult Social Care does not always reflect the possibility that a person's capacity may be variable and fluctuating”
