MSAR1 Deborah

Deborah (a pseudonym) died in December 2018. She was 54. She had been diagnosed with early onset dementia in 2014 and received specialist support on the Wirral where she resided with her husband* and teenage children. Safeguarding concerns arose periodically over the care her husband provided to her and considerable conflict arose between Deborah’s birth family (her mother, sisters and her brother) and her husband. Deborah’s birth family expressed repeated concerns that her care and treatment was being neglected by her husband. Her husband arranged for Deborah to be cared for by his family in the country of his birth (This country is outside the UK and will be referred to in this report as ‘Country A’) for substantial periods of time and in February 2017 Deborah went to stay with her mother-in-law in Country A and remained there until her death. Deborah’s birth family applied to the Court of Protection for Deborah to be repatriated to the UK but her deteriorating health was a key factor which prevented this from happening.
