NHS trust apologises as man kept in hospital for more than a year

NHS trust apologises as man kept in hospital for more than a year A man with physical and mental health problems is "living" in a hospital despite being fit to leave, a court has heard.

The man, who is in his 30s, has been in hospital for more than a year.

A barrister leading the man's legal team told how he had tried to "escape" and broke an arm during the attempt.

The Court of Protection heard that he remained in hospital because no "available alternative accommodation" had been found. BBC News
