CC: BOARD

Consideration of the appointment of a representative to make decisions for an incapable person with respect to treatment, admission to a care facility or a personal assistance service... Review of a decision to consent to an admission to a hospital, psychiatric facility or other health facility for the purposes of receiving treatment... An independent provincial tribunal, the Consent and Capacity Board's (CCB) mission is the fair and accessible adjudication of consent and capacity issues, balancing the rights of vulnerable individuals with public safety. The CCB's key areas of activity are the adjudication of matters of capacity, consent, civil committal and substitute decision making. Most applications to the CCB are for a review of involuntary status in a psychiatric facility, a review of a finding of incapacity to consent to treatment, or a review of a Community Treatment Order.
