An NHS trust and ward manager will be sentenced next week for health and safety failings – more than a decade after a young woman died in a secure mental health hospital.
Alice Figueiredo was 22 years old when she took her own life at London’s Goodmayes Hospital in July 2015.
Earlier this year, a jury found the North East London NHS Foundation Trust and ward manager Benjamin Aninakwa did not do enough to prevent her from killing herself.
Just a warning that the following report from our health correspondent – Laura Bundock – contains references to suicide which some may find distressing
Anyone feeling emotionally distressed or suicidal can call Samaritans for help on 116 123 or email jo@samaritans.org in the UK. In the US, call the Samaritans branch in your area or 1 (800) 273-TALK.
