BP v Surrey County Council and Another: CoP 25 Mar 2020

‘This is an urgent application made on behalf of BP who is 83 years of age. BP was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in December 2018. He is deaf but is able to communicate through a ‘communication board’. Today’s emergency application, brought by BP’s litigation friend, his daughter FP, seeks to achieve his discharge from the care home where he is presently living and a declaration that it is in his best interest to be returned to his home with an appropriate package of support.’
