The coroner's concerns
1. lack of comprehensive assessment and coordinated care
“local Mental Health (MH) Services (the Sussex Partnership Foundation Trust) had aimed to ensure the recognised 'triangle of care' (MH Services, Individual and Family) was in place, this did not (and I understand that national policy and approach may not) extend to other services such as the GP, private counselling, or e.g. social services being formally involved and engaged in a comprehensive assessment and hence effective package of treatment and care”
