If that is the case, and that he himself dictated that rather than an appointed power of attorney then that does seem odd.
A power of attorney would have the authority to sanction those sort of decisions,as they would over his financial matters.
If he himself actually 'legally' made those decisions himself without a power of attorney then that would shed a different light on things.
It would surprise me that in view of the independent Doctors appointed at the intructions of the CPS, and the investigation that had gone on as to him,that if that was evident, then the ensuing medical reports would have been constructed around that.
None of those decisions, being a Peer or even a Director, requires involvement or attendance either really of said person.
Both can be just a name on paper.
I do wholly agree it sounds odd, if it is the case that only he himself actually made such decisions, rather than someone else appointed by law to carry out his affairs, which is the usual scenario in the case of dementia.
