Further to your enquiry regarding Simon Cordell. Please see the update below from Debbie
Morgan. SC was discharged from hospital on 15/11/18 having been detained under the
Mental Health Act for the purpose of assessment of his mental health. SC did not believe he
required to be in hospital or wish to accept the proposed treatment that was offered. As
there is insufficient grounds or risk for further detention or to take any further intrusive
measures against his will, he has been discharged. SC does not believe he has a mental
illness that requires him to take treatment or to maintain on-going engagement with mental
health services. He appears disappointed with services in which he perceives to have
received from both housing and metropolitan police believing he is being targeted for things
he has not done. His assessment has not elicited he has care needs warranting supported
accommodation or a package of care to sustain independent living as he can be adequately
supported through universal services. He presents with adequate daily living skills and can
live in general needs housing. He appears to be young man who has particular beliefs, which
may lead to him having differences in opinion with others, which may impact on
relationships with others; particularly those in positions of authority. His mental
health/psychological state therefore remains fragile; however, the risk is not such that he
can be forced to engage with services.

He was offered follow-up by mental health services in the community to which he declined,
although agreed the he can be contacted by nurses from the ward to check on progress
following discharge. He has been allocated a care coordinator (Soohah Appadoo, North
Locality Team - 0208 379 4142) who will continue to try to engage him to build a
relationship. SC describes his main presenting need to be that of his relationship with
particular neighbours within his block, whom he believes to be intentionally causing him a
nuisance by way of making noise, and reports feeling disbelieved and unfairly treated by the
housing department and police. He therefore wants to be moved from his current
accommodation. His mother approached the ward Consultant for a supporting letter to
provide to housing for a 2-bedroom property citing she is his main carer. As there is no
evidence to suggest SC requires to be looked after due to having care needs requiring a live-
in carer her request was declined, she was advised to suggest housing put their request in
writing should this be housing’s request. Mental Health would support relocation to
alternative accommodation to reduce further tensions between the residents within the
block. Hi mother advised that SC has/or is in the possess of eviction, and that he was
discharged from hospital with no support which does not seem to be the case. Support has
been offered which has been declined, and will continue to be offered to assist in managing
the current situation or avoid and/or mitigation a situation of eviction.
