The coroner’s concerns

. 1. Expert psychiatric evidence indicated that Mr Lennon was a suitable candidate for the Care Programme Approach mental health pathway and that the use of this pathway would have reduced the risk of an acute deterioration in his mental state . The CRT failed to effectively monitor whether Mr Lennon was on a care pathway appropriate to his needs. 2. The CRT undertook a flawed review of Mr Lennon's mental state on 29/7/19 which failed to assess that, Jason was in relapse and was a risk of harm to himself and others. Factors which contributed to this failure included ; a. b. c. 6 CRT staff did not effectively review medical records prior to assessing Jason, The CRT did not communicate important clinical information between themselves and external stakeholders, The CRT did not adequately document important information arising from the assessment. 3. The Trust undertook a serious incident investigation report into the events leading to Mr Lennon's death in November 2019 which made a series of recommendations for action . The action plan was found to have been incomplete by 6/2/22 due to errors attributable to the Trust's governance team . 4. Accepted individual failings by staff within the CRT fall below standards set by their regulator. There is no evidence before the court to assess whether ELFT have considered the necessity to make a referral to a regulator.
