The coroner's concerns
1. inexperienced practitioner making treatment decisions
“Initial contact with the service is with an inexperienced practitioner and a decision is made regarding a treatment plan without any direct contact being made by an experienced practitioner.”
2. discharge without confirming circumstances
“discharged from the service if they fail to attend an appointment and do not respond to a voicemail by the end of the day”
3. discharge without assessing current circumstances
“discharge the patient without establishing their current circumstances and the current (if any) input from other agencies”
