Just heard these guys advertising on the radio. I had not heard of them before:

There is not one simple page on their website telling in simple terms what they do.

Seems to be for registering
Enduring Powers of Attorney
Advance healthcare Directives
 
Does this help at all?

What is the Decision Support Service?

The Decision Support Service is a new service for all adults who have difficulties with their decision-making capacity.

The Decision Support Service is a public body established within the Mental Health Commission by the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act 2015. Our job is to register the new decision support arrangements and supervise the individuals who are providing a range of supports to people with capacity difficulties.

There was a TV, radio and press ad campaign about them a while back too which seemed to feature mostly people with special needs/disabilities as far as I recall.
 
Their processes are unbelievable

We submitted all the paperwork in June, got an email in November saying there was an error but no explanation as to what.. eventually we got them on the phone and got a human to explain what we did wrong..

So maybe we’ll have it sorted within a year of starting.
 
We're trying to engage a solicitor for the Decision Making representative (DMR) we're on no. 8.... seems like nobody wants to deal with the new setup
