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.  His Body mass Index (BMI) is low at 17.
