Patient’s visitors being screened, says ex-partner

VISITORS who are allowed in to see a man being involuntary detained in a Cork mental health facility for almost six years are being screened by his doctors, it has been claimed.

John Hunt, 30, has been detained against his will at Carraig Mor for over five years and his story has received considerable media attention.

Gráinne Humphrys, the mother of his four-year-old son, Josh, maintains she has not been allowed in to see John since an RTÉ documentary telling their story aired in September.
