In case it helps anyone else in similar circumstances - it's taken exactly 3 months from the solicitor visiting my partner in hospital to me receiving certificated copies of the LPA from him.
Thanks for your contribution above, Ambo. Not so long ago one of my friends woke up with his sick and disabled wife dead in bed beside him. He phoned 999 and paramedics arrived. They ushered him out of the bedroom and proceeded (unsuccessfully) to try and resuscitate her. Her condition was such that the couple had long since decided they wouldn't want that. Their mistake was that they hadn't made a DNAR decision which would have prevented it:
