Judgment highlights realities of navigating health & welfare decisions “of a kind that rarely makes it to court…failure by hospital to consult with an LPA - a professional who moved “heaven & earth to correct the situation.”
Indeed, a rapid & effective challenge - awful that court action needed!

Great to hear that it worked well on the frailty ward! It would be nice to have some positive experiences represented in full - maybe a blog post?

A decision to remove (or not to (re)insert) a feeding tube might not be a best interests decision but a purely clinical one - i.e. that the feeding tube is medically contraindicated and so not an 'available option' (so no need to consult attorneys). Do you know which it was for your dad?
