Velindre NHS Trust on behalf of Cardiff and Vale, Aneurin Bevan, Cwm Taf, Swansea Bay, Hywel Dda, Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Boards are inviting suitably qualified

organisations to express an interest for provision of an Independent Mental Capacity Advocacy Service (IMCA).

medical treatment and changes of accommodation. It is available to those who have no family or friends whom it would be appropriate to

consult about these decisions. The service includes adult protection cases (POVAs) and care reviews. IMCA also has a role in the

Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DOLs) process. An IMCA may be instructed by the Supervisory Body to support a person for whom an

authorisation is being sought; or to undertake the role of the Relevant Person's Representative, or to provide assistance to the relevant

person and their representative in exercising their rights under the legislation.
