Man 'feels imprisoned' in hospital he's 'living' in 'because no alternative accommodation can be found'
A man with physical and mental health problems is 'living' in a hospital even though he is fit to leave - and broke his arm during an 'escape' bid, a judge in a specialist court has heard. The hospital NHS trust involved or the location has not been identified, but the court was told Manchester City Council has responsibilities for his care.
A lawyer representing another health authority, meanwhile, told the judge that professionals involved were under pressure because of the 'state' of health and social care services. Mr McCormack said the man was 'living' in hospital and added: "The real problem is that no available alternative accommodation has yet been sourced."
Mr McCormack said the man had 'undoubtedly' presented a 'complex problem'. He said he had 'extensive health needs' which would need to be met outside hospital. But he added: "We are not attempting to land a person on the Moon here."
