Delays in treating a severely disabled boy thought to have had toothache for five months were "little short of an outrage", a judge has said.

The autistic boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, could not say he had toothache and started banging his head against walls due to the pain.

Mr Justice Hayden said the handling of the boy's case by Cardiff and Vale health board was "indefensible".
The health board apologised and said it would launch an internal inquiry.

The hearing took place on Friday at the Court of Protection in London, where issues relating to people who may lack the mental capacity to make decisions are considered.

Concussion fears

Mr Justice Hayden said the teenage boy's head banging had started in October. His parents, one of whom is a mental health nurse, thought his behaviour was a response to toothache.

In November they had taken him to an accident and emergency department because thought he had concussion.
But health authority bosses had not asked a Court of Protection judge to decide what treatment was in the boy's best interests until this week.

He said treatment was now planned but could not take place until early March.

Mr Justice Hayden, who is based in the Family Division of the High Court, said anyone who had suffered toothache would think waiting from now until early March for treatment was an "eternity".

The judge suggested that the head banging could have caused a severe injury and led to the boy's death.

On the other hand I love watching Rick Stein as he can make me hungry with his words but unlike the Bikers his recipes never tend to work I went to Rick Stein's fish restaurant in Falmouth a couple of weeks back as my visitors wanted to eat some locally caught fish. I am not a fish lover so had not been there before. It was awful. The fish didn't appear to be fresh. The portions were tiny. The recipes appeared "creative" but were more word soup than anything on the tongue. And worst of all it was stupidly expensive.

Originally posted by Midlands Eagle Stop behaving like a dick for once in your life. The point that I was making that anyone with an IQ higher than single figures would understand is that you had to read right to the end of the article to find out that the boy had died. Secondly Mr ****** I think you would be hard pushed to find any post of mine accusing the BBC of political bias but the truth has always been less important to you than behaving like a ******* You are the one being the "dick" because you have doubled down on your error. The point being that the boy didn't die. The Judge merely pointed out that COULD have been the consequences. Not that it was. Read it again! If you still don't get it I think you will then need to reflect on questioning IQs.
