He sounds defensive as he is aware of mum's litigation against Kent County Council and does not want to be drawn into it. That sounds fair enough as he is simply required to give his medical view in mum's best interests.
The legal process to save Bowles Lodge is over but the spirit of Bowles Lodge lives on!

- This blog is about a campaign I led to prevent Lancashire County Council closing the care home my Mum lived in. We lost our case in the High Court but decision-makers at local and national level were made aware of the devastating consequences of moving elderly people - no matter how carefully it is done. Mum was moved and, sadly, died eight months later. The blog is dedicated to her precious memory. Love you Mum.
This is Vera, my mum
This is Vera, my mum. "Why did Kent County Council move me out of Bowles Lodge?"

The plot deepens
I speak with mum's consultant, Dr Reynolds. He says "... she does not have any breathing difficulties... her heart beat was a little slow so I have adjusted her medication...". I asked if she could be discharged. He could not see why not but social services have asked to complete their assessment before this happens (an Individual Needs Portrayal that was started at that farcical meeting on 6th October - see that post for more info).
