The coroner's concerns
1. lack of effective follow up action for disengaged high-risk patients with learning disabilities
“The lack of effective follow up action when a patient with learning disabilities disengages, especially when they are a high-risk patient (such as [the deceased])”
2. absence of clear escalation process for identified risks
“The lack of a clear escalation process when an increased risk is identified and this risk cannot be easily addressed (as it was in [the deceased]'s case).”
3. lack of structured medication review in care plan
“The lack of a structured medication review as part of the overall Care Plan Approach so that staff from all agencies involved are aware of the importance of medication compliance and understand the referral/escalation routes should they have a concern”
