4. Assessment of risk to patient and/or to others
Mr Cordell seems to have a history of deteriorating behaviour and feelings of persecution and
since 2014 after the deaths in his family and the carbon monoxide poisoning. He has been
taping everything and has Closed circuit TV outside his flat. It is reported that he believes the
TV is talking about him. He has been depressed in the past and attempted to take his own life.
He seems to have some very grandiose plans to run Raves but no evidence that he has any
funds for it.
It is not clear whether he has been taking other substances, has a mental illness or is a person
who will constantly find himself at risk of repeatedly breaking the law and feeling harassed
as a result.
He also seems preoccupied by his rights to do what he wants to do without seeming to
understand the effect his actions might have on other people.
He is putting his tenancy at risk.

Date of assessment: 15/08/2016
1. Consultation with Nearest Relative and process of identifying the Nearest
Relative
Lorraine Cordell his mother is one of the few people he still trusts to support him. He has
become dependent on her to do his grocery shopping or care for his dog. He has no regular
partner or child over 18 years. I deem his mother to be Nearest Relative, she believes there
has been a difference in him since he suffered carbonmonoxy poisoning in 2014.
At the same time, she has been trying to help him with his complaints and appeals about the
behaviour of the police towards and him. She told me that she can demonstrate that computer
evidence has been changed.
2. Consultation with Assessing Doctors
Both Doctors were of the opinion that his pressure of speech and very challenging behaviour
could be the result of drug use, mental illness or personality.
Even though he has been known to services for up to 2 years there is still no clear diagnosis.
3. Views of others consulted
FME advised that Mr Cordell had refused to see the Drug worker and himself. He had
seemed very agitated and confrontational and had advised he be interviewed through the
wicket
4. Mental Capacity Act 2005
Mr Cordell seemed to want to demonstrate his innocence and evidence that he was being
unreasonably harassed. He had no concept that his behaviour would be seen as unacceptable
and was in fact putting his tenancy at risk.
5. Reason for decision to make the application (including choice of Section)
Mr Cordell seemed to want to demonstrate his innocence and evidence that he was being
unreasonably harassed. He had no concept that his behaviour would be seen as unacceptable
and was in fact putting his tenancy at risk It seems that he is entitled to an Assessment that
has not been possible in the community.
