The coroner's concerns
1. holdall bag left in patient room
“Evidence emerged during the inquest that the holdall bag with the attached strap was left in his room after being checked by staff. There is a fine balance that needs to be reached in terms of removing personal items and allowing patients to keep their personal items within their room as per guidelines for least restrictive policies.”
