The man, who was ‘eager to leave’, is now free to discharge himself from the hospital
The court, after considering arguments from medical professions in charge of his care, granted the hospital temporary orders including one restraining him from discharging himself.
The man, who in recent days underwent assessments of his mental capacity by those treating him, was deemed fit to discharge himself and was “eager to leave”, the hospital’s counsel Rebecca Mac Cana Bl said. The judge also thanked solicitor Niall McGrath who had acted as the man’s court appointed guardian or guardian ad litem’ during the proceedings.
The hospital claimed that the man at that stage did not believe, or was aware that he has sustained such injuries, but wanted to discharge himself from the hospital and had expressed a desire to go “fishing.”
