My daughter tried to kill herself a couple of months ago after fleeing a domestic dispute in which she had been restrained from leaving the house, had she not lost control and rolled her car there is no doubt she would have achieved her objective, police and ambulance attended breath test 99, taken to hospital blood sample take by police doctor, taken into custody and assessed by mental health team following morning whom informs had she not agreed to voluntary treatment my daughter would have been sectioned under mental health act.
My daughter spent about a month in care of a secure psychiatric unit now discharged into my care, I have since taken lengthy statement from her which shows a prima facie case of fraud and quite possibly controlling and coercive behaviour against her now estranged partner.
Whilst those matters are being considered my plea for early intervention by the CPS with a view to dropping any pending drink/drive prosecution as not in the public interest appears to be stuck somewhere in their system.
I have now heard the blood has come back over (as expected) and it has been passed down to the arresting officer as to whether to request formal interview etc.
The blood sample given to my daughter by the police shows the time taken as being 01:07hrs I have obtained her hospital notes which shows her being examined by the hospital doctor at 01:10 whilst my research shows blood can only be taken with consent of the hospital doctor in charge prior to sample being taken I do not read that he has to have examined the patient first which would appear to make a mockery of any consent given without first examining the patient.
Secondly at the time of the accident my daughter was in a highly disturbed and agitated state clearly intent on killing herself with obvious mental health issues noted by ambulance and hospital and in my opinion could not give any competent valid consent as to her blood being taken and should in my opinion have been treated as a person incapable of consenting in other words the blood should not have been sent off for analysis until she had properly consented after her discharge from hospital.
No other person's or vehicles were involved in the accident
Your considered comments appreciated. Regards
