DH NHS Foundation Trust v PS [2010] EWHC 1217 (Fam)
(1) It was in PS's best interests to undergo a hysterectomy, and removal of the fallopian tubes and ovaries, in order to treat her endometrial cancer. (2) If, given her hospital and needle phobia, sedation or force were necessary to convey her to hospital, then that would be in her best interests. (3) It would be necessary to detain her in hospital for post-operative recovery, but unnecessary to invoke the DOL safeguards: as it was in her best interests to have the operation, it was in her best interests to recover appropriately from it.
