What if I do not have anyone suitable around me to be my Nominated Healthcare Spokesperson (NHS)?
If you’ve appointed or are intending to appoint a Professional Deputy as a Donee in your Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA), you can appoint the same person as your NHS. Make sure they are agreeable before you appoint them. You can find more details and the list of Professional Deputies on the Ministry of Social and Family Development website.
Alternatively, speak to an ACP facilitator to document and register your ACP. They’ll be able to guide you in making decisions on your healthcare preferences.
Some service providers may charge a nominal fee for doing an ACP. Please check with the respective organisations for details.
