The coroner's concerns
1. lack of mental capacity assessment
“no formal mental capacity assessment was undertaken and no consideration of a DoLS authorisation was undertaken”
2. inadequate communication of dietary requirements
“death was avoidable and had there been appropriate communication between all those looking after him, steps would have been taken to ensure his oral diet complied with his current SALT assessment pending a review”
