Hi, Could you use MCA (if he lacks capacity to consent)?
It will be possible as the journey to hospital is in Best Interests & is not a deprivation of his liberty, merely a restriction as it is for a ‘not negligible’ length of time.
Section 5 & s6 MCA would cover any need to use ‘restraint’
Kind regards
