Read the institutional account, the patient dispute and unresolved care decisions side by side. Documentation should show outcomes as well as events.
1 · The case question
The central issue is continuity: when an established treatment pathway ended, who could make the next clinical decision, what information did they use, and what workable plan existed while that decision was pending?

A prerequisite is not a promise. An acknowledgement is not a decision. A missing document in this bundle does not prove no assessment existed. No clinician-motive image. No formal breach finding.
2 · What the records say
CWPT's 5 March 2026 letter records a discharge request on 11 December 2025 after an offered review. It declines an interim prescription, describes reassessment and titration as necessary, and says review will follow the waiting-list pathway.
Matthew's 6 March addendum disputes the context of that discharge and the completeness of the account. He describes preceding treatment interruption, severe physical symptoms and deterioration, and argues that these risks were omitted.
The 28 May correspondence states that ADHD medication cannot be considered until full cardiology checks are completed. That is a prerequisite, not a promise that completion alone guarantees prescribing.

4 · What an adequate explanation must distinguish
A documented refusal, its stated rationale, a disputed omission and a completed alternative plan are different facts. A record of symptoms is not itself evidence that a clinical response occurred. Equally, a missing document in this supplied bundle does not prove that no assessment ever existed.
5 · What can be generalised
Use this case to ask better continuity questions and identify possible patterns to investigate. A single case does not establish the conduct of every NHS service, a clinician's intent, a biological mechanism or a formal finding of negligence. The strongest account identifies the exact record, disputed point and unresolved decision.
6 · Sources and onward routes
Matthew's timeline carries the dated timeline. Records and escalation explains a records route; When treatment stops turns ownership questions into a request. Selected summaries are attributed to the author’s account. Private documents, identifiers and document-level linkages are not included in public site assets.
Uncertainty
Matthew's reported experience is substantive evidence of his experience. Causation, diagnosis, the appropriate restart plan and regulatory/legal conclusions require their own supporting evidence. This page has no later cardiology result or dispensing record from which to resolve those questions.
