Biography

Fabian Hamilton has engaged with dementia-related issues primarily through debate speeches on Lasting Powers of Attorney, highlighting safeguarding concerns as dementia and Alzheimer's cases are projected to rise. His contributions focus on procedural failings, particularly gaps in the Office of the Public Guardian's investigative powers and banks' difficulties in detecting financial abuse by attorneys. He has also introduced legislative proposals to strengthen duties on banks and care homes regarding Lasting Powers of Attorney and to enhance the OPG's investigative remit.
