‘In November 2016 the Claimant collapsed with acute abdominal pain whilst in a hairdresser in Fulham, London. Investigations at A&E revealed that she had developed diverticulitis with a localised perforation. Her surgeon, Mr Behar, tried to treat it conservatively with intravenous antibiotics and fluids but the disease continued to progress. Mr Behar therefore carried out a laparoscopic lavage, after which the Claimant’s condition settled for over 24 hours. However, later on the following day, she collapsed with severe abdominal pain and Mr Behar completed a Hartmann’s procedure.’

‘In its most recent State of Care Report, the CQC has a lengthy and detailed ‘area of concern’ section on DoLS, the key findings being as follows:
– Too many people are waiting too long for a Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) authorisation, despite multiple examples of local authorities trying their best to reduce backlogs and ensure sustainable improvement.
– We remain worried about the rights of people at the heart of the DoLS system. We continue to see people in vulnerable circumstances without legal protection, which not only affects them but also their families, carers, staff and local authorities.
– The system has needed reform for over 10 years. Unless there is substantial intervention, we are concerned that these challenges will continue.’
