  @ MP voted no to allow consultations on the subject of a mentally incapacitated person's deprivation of liberty to be carried out by a care home manager rather than a hospital manager, local authority, clinical commissioning group or local health board. 
  
  The majority of MPs voted to allow consultations on the subject of a mentally incapacitated person's deprivation of liberty to be carried out by a care home manager rather than a hospital manager, local authority, clinical commissioning group or local health board. 
   
  MPs were considering the Mental Capacity (Amendment) Bill[1]. 
  
  The amendment rejected in this vote was:
  :Amendment 49, page 16, line 12, leave out from âoutâ to the end of line 16, and insert âby the responsible body.â
  
  Had it not been rejected the amendment would have impacted Schedule 1 of the Bill which contained a proposed new schedule for the Mental Capacity Act 2005. The element in question was within a section titled: ''Consultation'' and stated:
  :Consultation under this paragraph must be carried outâ
  :(a) if the arrangements are care home arrangements and authorisation is being determined under paragraph 16, by the care home manager;
  :(b) otherwise, by the responsible body.
  
  Those to be consulted were: the cared-for person; anyone named by the cared-for person as someone to be consulted about arrangements of the kind in question; anyone engaged in caring for the cared-for person or interested in the cared-for personâs welfare; any donee of a lasting power of attorney or an enduring power of attorney granted by the cared-for person; any deputy appointed for the cared-for person by the court; and any appropriate person and any independent mental capacity advocate concerned.
  
  Paragraphs 10 and 11 defined a responsible body as being a hospital manager, a local authority, a clinical commissioning group (in England) or a local health board (in Wales).
  
  The rejected amendment was accompanied by the following explanatory statement:
  
  :This amendment would require the responsible body to carry out the consultation in all cases.
