Diagnosis of epilepsy
Diagnosis of epilepsy
Since the hearing before the Judge the Appellant has been diagnosed with epilepsy, of moderate to severe frequency, occurring 2 – 3 times weekly (report of consultant neurologist, Dr Mavroudis, dated 24 February 2025 and letters from Dr Swayne consultant neurologist dated 24 January 2024 and 29 April 2025). The condition could become life threatening in custody. The Appellant’s condition may stabilise if he remains in a supported environment at home with access to specialist care. In a custodial setting his condition is likely to deteriorate significantly due to stress, the possibility of delays in specialist care and environmental instability (Report of Dr Mavroudis).
