Ben is a 33-year old man who has moderate learning disability together with hydrocephalus, spastic diplegia, visual impairment and epilepsy.

He enjoys life, but his plans to resettle in a small group community home are halted when he is diagnosed as having a carcinoma of the kidney with lung metastases.

He is normally well nourished, but staff are now concerned about maintaining Ben's adequate nutritional status.  He weighs 68 kg and is 2 m tall.
