Private Eye, 'Mental health: Track records' (issue 1584, 21/10/22, p41)
Inquest adjourned after disclosure failures This article is primarily about a coroner adjourning the inquest into Chris Nota's death after 13 days when it emerged that Essex Partnership University NHS Trust had failed to disclose correspondence between clinicians to the serious incident investigation. It also mentions the Essex Mental Health Independent Inquiry into unexpected psychiatric patient deaths, a Dispatches programme about abuse of patients, and the similar case of Bethany Lilley in which failures in relation to risk assessments, record-keeping and documentation were not admitted but were uncovered during an inquest.
