A mother whose daughter had been neglected before her life blamed the “failure of the system” for her daughter’s death and called for better care of future patients.
Court documents show that Iona Emoen Lee’s suicide has been one of at least five deaths that have caused or contributed to the failure in the mental health units in the head over the past decade. The health and social care regulator is currently investigating information more than three deaths in units.
Morag Lee died at the end of the daughter of “inspiration, friendly, lovely” daughter at the Hartington Unit at the Royal Hospital in Chesterfield in Chesterfield, before transferring the 24 -year -old to the intensive care unit there on September 18, 2023.
57 -year -old mother, from derby, talked to her Independent A Coroner ruled in January that his son died of “suicide in neglect” in a section arrested under the Mental Health Act on September 15, 2023.
“The inquiry of Yuna’s death was a devastating experience and indicates the tragic failures of the system that was directly involved in his passage,” Ms. Lee said.
“I still try to get rid of my head, this is what still wakes up all nights of the night – I realized how chaos around him and how much his support has been ignored in the past few hours, which destroyed me.
The CCCT Commission (CQC) has carried out several inspections since 2023 due to concerns and accidents, including death at the Hartington and Radborn Unit at the Royal Derby Hospital. The sections were two sections of mental health hospitalized for adults as derbyshire Healthcare Foundation TRUST until Hartington’s unit was transferred to the new Derwent unit last month.
The regulator said its latest inspection showed that the provider had attempted to reduce the risks, so the conditions set out in trust were eliminated, with the “good” – but CQC service confirmed that he is currently checking information about three deaths in the units.
Trust has apologized for failing to take care of Yuna, and “impressive progress” has occurred in recent years in its acute hospital facilities.
In the case of Jona’s death in January, it was found that “there were a series of errors in the planning, management and implementation of Yuna’s observations after acceptance” and “instructions, information and supervision were all inadequate, as the original induction was.”
The jury concluded that Iona’s observations should be kept in the eyes of employees, but due to the lack of employees in the sector, she was only alternately examined. Even at that time, this should be at least 15 minutes, but this 24 years was not found up to 43 minutes after the last time.
“It is frightened to know that she has been left without examination for a long time, and her final 43 minutes alone is unbearable,” Ms. Lee said.
He raised “serious concerns” about the management of the Hartington unit and believes that the blame of these and the previous governments also lies in its role in monitoring the paralyzed NHS.
Inquiries over the past 10 years have identified the failures of the Hartington and Radbehne units, which have caused at least five deaths, including inaccurate decisions on patients who are left out or discharged from the departments, and inadequate risk assessment. In a report, Coroner called for a warning to trust in fear of the risk of death in the future.
“In the past year, the hospital has changed its policies, but the guidance was not followed and led to my daughter’s death – so how do we know what is going on now? What are the general public?”
In January, the HSSB Health Safety Research Institute (HSSIB) raised concerns that the “safety research” health care system does not learn that after the death of a person during or shortly after being careful while staying in a mental health center.
“I apologize to the Iona family and I am very sorry for the pain and distress they have experienced,” said Mark Powell, executive director of the Derbyshire NHS TRUST.
“Our services aimed at supporting the highest patient safety standards, providing conscious health care for trauma. We thoroughly examine all the accidents and are committed to learning from internal and external investigations, HM coroner recommendations, and feedback from families and supervisors to ensure that we learn and make continuous advances in our services.”
“I extend my deepest condolences to those who, unfortunately, on my family while taking care of us,” he continued.
He added: “Two new units will open this spring and provide privacy features, dignity and safety.”
“This government inherited the broken NHS and it is unacceptable that patients have not received mental health care that they deserve,” a spokesman for the Ministry of Health and Social Care said.
“We are reforming mental health law, so patients are treated with dignity and respect, hire 8,500 mental health workers and need a new workforce plan to ensure NHS of the right people, including in mental health settings, to provide care services.”
