(1) Having read PQ 5624, I remain unclear as to the requested information.
If the Hon Member is referring to obtaining the details of the Guardianship Order covering the period October 2005, these have been obtained. From 12 July 2002 to 10 July 2007 Mr Van Haeften was the subject of a guardianship order that appointed as joint limited Guardians his mother and step-father Mr and Mrs Maumill and his sister Ms Debbie Van Haeften.
(2) & (3) Following a priority recommendation made in the Office of Chief Psychiatrist review of the Whitby Falls hostel in August 2005, the Executive Director MH SMAHS and other mental health staff met with Ms Debbie van Haeften and Mrs Mary Maumill to discuss the need for Neville to have a thorough assessment, at which time the family members agreed.
