The coroner's concerns
1. lack of mental health service involvement during GP consultations
“The deceased registered with your GP practice on the 20" March 2013, was seen | on the 25" March and was issued a 'sick note' and was prescribed Amitriptyline for depression (despite being a known self-harmer). He was then seen on the 28" March Eten a further 'sick note' was issued, this time back dated for one month. On neither of these consultations was there any reference to Mental Health Services, either for advice as to his previous involvement with them nor as to whether he needed further”
