High Court affirms the continuation of detention and care orders for a ward of court, a 37-year-old man with complex mental health issues. The court acknowledged the necessity of the orders for the individual's welfare, despite his recent deterioration in mental health and temporary transfer to an approved center. The decision was based on extensive evidence, including medical reports indicating that the ward's current high-support placement was beneficial and that a transfer to an approved unit under statute would likely be detrimental to his well-being.
