“The Court heard evidence that his GP had written to Greater Manchester West on the 23TM June 2015 ( exactly to whom this letter was addressed is not known as it was not provided in the evidence from the GP practice) indicating that [the deceased] could be prescribed diazepam following the investigation for his seizure.”

“The failure to identify the above issue as part of the review into the death of [the deceased] is a concern as it highlights a missed opportunity to potentially learn lessons.”

“The fact that Phoenix Futures have no ability to prescribe medication to their services users was a concern. It meant that young people with substance misuse issues have to be referred to Trafford Aim, who are a service for people over the age of 26. [the deceased] had a good relationship with Phoenix Futures but he did struggle to engage with services.”

“The fact that he then had to engage with two services added to what in the Courts view was a disconnected approach to dealing with Jakes increasing difficulties.”
