_ That the decision to treat Mr Vickery at the clinic rather than in his own home (as had been the case previously) was taken without regard to a request from his GP that he should be treated at home, not at a clinic In my opinion, when assessing how and where a patient should be treated, or when assessing whether any changes should be made as to how and where a patient is treated, Southern Health's Integrated Community Services should formally consult with the Patient's GP and have proper regard to the GP's views on these matters_ Percy leg
