The coroner’s concerns

This report was published as a scan, so its text was read automatically. Check the wording against the original before you quote it.

— 1) There was clear evidence of poor compliance with the Enhanced Care Supervision engagement policy and daily assessments. There was evidence before the Court of numerous days being missed and when the assessment was made the care was not provided in accordance with the policy or the level of risk identified leaving patient's vulnerable to falls. 2) There was no evidence to suggest that any action was taken by the Trust following escalation by ward staff regarding concerns about the lack of resources to provide appropriate supervision in accordance with the level of risk identified. The Secretary of State for Health is asked to consider whether it is appropriate for Trust to review its systems and procedures in place in relation to Enhanced care Supervision and its implications, as Mis concerned that this situation could occur again. Coroner's Court and Office, Doncaster Crown Court, College Road, Doncaster, DN1 3HS Tel 01302 737135 | Fax 01302 736365 ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN In my opinion action should be taken to prevent future deaths and | believe you have the power to take such action.
