I've just had a very quick look at the webpage - the 'theme' is one I agree with, but current clinical guidance is very confused and conflicted, about the role of non-patients in decision-making and discussions, and even for patients making decisions it is inadequate.
This is an area that needs a lot of pressure, to change it so that 'it looks right from the patient's perspective'.
