The coroner's concerns
1. lack of direct inquiry about suicidal thoughts
“Ms [name redacted] had a long history of overdoses and self inflicted wounds, her last admission to hospital for treatment for the consequent physical injuries being in May 2013. However, in the year following that until her death, the clinical specialist who looked after never once asked her directly if she had thoughts of taking her life”
