I'm so happy that I can tell our story openly, and not have to hide under the pseudonym Anna, as I have done for the last few years. Thank you @KitzingerCelia for all of your support - you are amazing. And my fellow

A depressing case exposing delay in best interests decisions about ongoing life-sustaining treatment; but good to see the judge highlight concerns & that the judgment will be sent to the Secretary of State for Health + Chief Executive of NHS England.

Dear @HMCTSgovuk

CourtServe has a hearing listed in Northampton for 1st June 2026 but no information about it (it just says "restricted"). It doesn't appear in the COP list.

Can you advise - is it going ahead please? What's it about?

I have been invited to attend an event at the House of Commons on 13 July 2026, where affected families will have an opportunity to speak about their experiences and the impact of systemic failures in care, safeguarding, and accountability.

I may be able to put forward a small number of names of people with relevant lived experience who would like to attend or share their story.

Because this is a parliamentary event and invitations need to be issued formally, I cannot make an open public invitation. However, if you would like to be considered, please message me privately.

It is never easy to keep repeating painful experiences, but decision-makers need to hear directly from families and individuals who have been affected. X

@Sanchia7 @BBCSounds @BBCr4today Great that you are now able to report this story.

When Pelicot was arrested for upskirting, the police asked Giselle to accompany him to the station

She assumed it was standard. Instead they separated them at the station & asked her about her sex life
If she had multiple partners
If she was a swinger
If she was ‘kinky’

HHJ Burrows has published a judgment about contact restrictions. Helpfully, @Capacitylaw has published a blog summarising the main points. One key take away for me is that "the court has limited powers over care providers" (§18).

OPEN JUSTICE ALERT

There's a case in Cardiff today (hybrid) concerning treatment withdrawal from a 98 year old P. It's judgment hand down from Morgan J

It's not publicly listed - not on the RCJ website, not in CourtServe (I checked both the COP listings and the Cardiff daily)

[Michael Brown 🌍 @MentalHealthCop]

This is a really important point -

Whatever the problems (and there are many), the police, AMHPs, psychiatrists and mental health nurses, etc. were working in a SYSTEM.

Those designed, evolved and led the system(s) need to be giving evidence about the structures they created.

[Shaun Lintern @ShaunLintern]

DHSC has confirmed there will NOT be anything specific on regulation of senior NHS managers in NHS Bill - there had been suggestions this would be in.

It may be govt are waiting for the Thirlwall and Nottingham inquiries- but really there is no reason to not just get on with it.
