GO AWAY PLEASE I DO NOT WANT TO GO TO ASHTON HOUSE WRITTEN BY ELIZABETH “IT’S NOT SET IN STONE”
Yesterday I had a lady come to see me at Castle Ward (Peter Hodgkinson Centre) Lincoln County Hospital.
She said she was assessing me for Ashton House. I got my Mum to look up Ashton House and it appears to be a care home in West Sussex. I told this lady (dont know her name but trying to find out) that I did not want to go to Ashton House and I wanted to come home. She said “it is not set in concrete”.
I feel I am being abused at Castle Ward. I am very unhappy here. It is so noisy. Another patient has told me I need to speak up for myself.
I find it difficult to speak up as they have put me on so much drugs. I find it easier to write and I have asked my Mum to put my words on her blog. My Mum is only allowed to visit with two members of staff present. I feel my human rights are being abused. Today I have tried to appoint a human rights lawyer. I have also tried to appoint another lawyer for the court of protection. My mum has explained about the capacity assessments to me and why I need a fresh one. I understand this has been promised by Sharon Harvey.
I have just phoned a human rights lawyer and was told “all sorted the solicitor will ring me back”.
I miss you lots. I am looking forward to my next visit.
I can see what is happening they have control or they think they do. 14.59 15.11.2023 I have missed you greatly today – they say it wont be long before come bk home 00:23 15.11.2023.
I have agreed for all the scans to be shared. 15:12 13.11.23.
ASHTON HOUSE WRITTEN BY SUSAN BEVIS
This is the only Ashton House information I could find on line and it is a very long distance from home and family as if they could not find anywhere nearer since the rest of family live in Norfolk! So if they, the MDT are intent on keeping my daughter away from me as said by Dr W Khokhar RC “you are a bad influence” why not think of others in the family. Why punish us all? Talk was of East Yorkshire originally but now this place is in W Sussex and all the time Elizabeth has capacity. How dishonest is that for LPft rated Good by the CQC?
Only got to hear the shocking news this morning from Elizabeth who apparently told the lady trying to carry out an assessment to “go away”. Elizabeth has asked me to share the above which I am doing. I could only find one Ashton House which is situated hundreds of miles away and it is a Care Home in West Sussex. Elizabeth is trying to find out the name of the lady concerned who visited her yesterday who she said smiled at her but Elizabeth clearly does not want to be sent so far away from home. Rest of family are in Norfolk. The way this is being done is highly deceitful of Lincolnshire Partnership Trust who know full well she has a Neurologist appointment on the 3rd January with Dr C Solinas and they appear to be trying to move her far away from home and family against her wishes.
Elizabeth has made several phone calls herself to try and book a fresh capacity assessment because three flawed in-house assessments have been carried out by the following:
Dr Adaeze Bradshaw
Dr Tahir Suleman
Kirsty Findlay AMHP
All in-house and all severely flawed.
Under this appalling Trust rife with bullying where human rights are non existent, where no regard is given to carers or vulnerable patients, they are clearly desperate to get Elizabeth far away from home and family regardless of human rights and are restricting visits 2-1 against human rights Art 8 HRA.
Elizabeth was given a pen and notepaper to write on because she finds it difficult sometimes to talk to people especially in meetings. She has an advocate from Voiceability but not sure how often she sees this advocate and not sure she is always included in meetings. She was present at the ward round last Wednesday though and I was actually let into the Teams meeting on this occasion but have been cut out of several left waiting endlessly but they are no doubt stepping up sending Elizabeth to either hospital or care home outside of the area as in this area there is nothing nearby according to Hannah Kajue which is nonsense and besides this other area who provided nothing by way of support and care in the community themselves are not the decision makers here now.
The two Directors of Nursing are Sharon Harvey LPFT newly appointed
and
Martin Fahy Director of Nursing Lincolnshire ICB.
Following a culmination of endless complaints never properly answered and some responses of the most horrific threatening nature finally an appointment was arranged by Pals to see Sharon Harvey and Martin Fahy on the 2 October. The meeting was witnessed with a friend present.
It was offered – FRESH CAPACITY ASSESSMENT INDEPENDENTLY DONE BY SHARON HARVEY
It was offered – CTR INDEPENDENTLY CHAIRED previously refused BY MARTIN FAHY
So far Elizabeth has not been supported at all for the CTR. She has not idea when this will take place but a meeting is planned and I feel the CQC need to be present for this meeting as I can see my daughter and noone in her family is being treated fairly at all.
All we have seen so far since moving to Lincolnshire is abuse of power and process by council and NHS Trust.
It is, and has been for some time clear that ‘capacity’ is being used as a firewall to prevent Elizabeth exercising her rights and to exclude me from decision making processes.
This is a textbook ‘Catch 22’ position and is entirely disingenuous. Elizabeth does not lack capacity to decide who is acting in her best interests. Her attenuated capacity does not go that far at all.
The LPFT and LCC have abused the MCA2005 simply to get their own way. They are so obsessed with keeping you out of the picture that they are quite prepared to put Elizabeth’s welfare in jeopardy.
Capacity need to be continually assessed as it is time and situation specific. I dare bet there is no record of any ongoing capacity assessment and they are abusing the process simply to get their own way.
This is a major violation of Elizabeth’s and your human rights and not simply a minor violation of the MCA2005 (it is of course that as well)
I agree fully that this needs publicity, especially with regard to the HRA issues. You will of course need Elizabeth’s consent for that. which I do most certainly have. No-one without a bit of capacity could pick up the phone and call a solicitor for help and then try to get human rights lawyers involved.
How many times does my daughter have to say “I WANT TO GO HOME” “I MISS MY CAT” LINCOLNSHIRE PARTNERSHIP TRUST AND COUNCIL YOU ARE A DISGRACE AND WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT BULLYING SINCE WE ARRIVED. You should not be entitled to a Good Rating by CQC until you take on board human rights of vulnerable people and you should all undergo the Oliver McGowan Training SHAME ON YOU LINCOLNSHIRE PARTNERSHIP TRUST AND COUNCIL WHO BACKED YOU, ESPECIALLY THE AMHP DEPARTMENT.
Last of all I want all CCTV footage and written evidence of my alleged threatening behaviour when it is you yourselves responsible for that in my opinion and I want all allegations taken out against me unless you can provide me with proof which I want to share with all my readers.
It is disgraceful how doctors torment a patient refusing to listen and labelling her with a stigmatic label refusing to carry out the necessary pathological investigations, depriving her of the support she needs and family contact. It is utterly inhumane to fail to emphasise with a patient and total abrogation of medical ethics. To insist on isolating her from anyone who can offer her real support is an appalling and egregious abuse of their power. By transferring her far away from home and family they clearly do not want her to develop long term friendships because of their insistence on providing her with personal support.
They are not even honest enough to give the full reasons to your face except that “you are a bad influence“. The two doctors who are very much involved are Dr Toby Greenall and Dr Khokhar RC who appears to be registered with Leicestership Partnership Trust but has two email addresses.
The other doctors involved have carried out flawed capacity assessments and the legal department backing them all the way yet the person concerned a Kyla Bailey Cilex Qualified is a Best Interest Assessor herself and would have known full well that capacity assessments were not fit for purpose and completely and utterly flawed.
