# Mental Capacity Act (Northern Ireland) 2016, Section 94: Continuing duty of trust in relation to independent mental capacity advocate

Status: prospective

(1) The duty of an HSC trust under section 91 is to be taken to include a duty to instruct a new independent mental capacity advocate to represent and provide support to P in the matter in question if for any reason an independent mental capacity advocate previously instructed under that section to represent and provide support to P in that matter ceases to be able to do so.
(2) But this does not apply where—
(a) the reason why the independent mental capacity advocate previously instructed is no longer able to represent and provide support to P in the matter is that P has made a declaration under section 93; and
(b) that declaration has not been revoked.
