The court declined to order a detailed comparative costing from the Hospital Authority because the proper inquiry is whether the Defendant's existing care meets the Plaintiff's reasonable needs and best interests; cost comparisons are irrelevant where an institution can provide appropriate care. The matter of venue of care will be decided at the first stage of the damages hearing commencing 10 July.
