When a district inspector gets a copy of an application, they have to think about whether they should go to the hearing and say what they think. They need to talk to the person who is getting care and find out what that person wants to happen, if that's possible. The district inspector has to consider the care recipient's wishes when deciding what to do.

119: Entitlement to be served with application, or
"Getting a copy of the application when someone applies to the court"
121: Attendance at hearing by care recipient and person in support, or
"You and your support person must go to the court hearing, unless the Judge says you don't have to."
The responsible district inspector who is served with a copy of an application under this Act must consider whether to appear and be heard at the hearing of the application.
In considering that question, the district inspector must talk to the care recipient and (where that can be done) ascertain his or her wishes on the matter.
