30 Sept 2019 · Coroner Anita Bhardwaj · Liverpool and Wirral
The coroner's concerns
1. lack of family involvement in care planning
“Throughout [the deceased]'s Involvement with the medical professionals and therapists, whether by Mersey Care, Mental Health Advisory team at the University or the GPs there is no evidence of any discussion around involving [the deceased]'s family in drawing up a plan or consideration of requesting consent from [the deceased] to discuss her situation with parents/family”
2. delayed removal from hanging
“once [the deceased] was found hanging, no attempts were made to cut her down”
