A coroner has stated that a patient who took his own life should have been informed that he could stay at a mental health unit. The patient, Gareth Etchells-Height, had Asperger's syndrome and was found dead at the Wainwright Centre in Sheffield. The coroner concluded that the failure to communicate the extension of his stay contributed to his death.
A patient who took his own life over concerns about his discharge from a mental health unit should have been told he could stay, a coroner has said.
Assistant Coroner Alexandra Pountney heard how following an incident at Sheffield's train station, Mr Etchells-Height was taken to Northern General Hospital's Longley Centre on 18 February 2022. The coroner said she found it difficult to differentiate between Mr Etchells-Height's presentation on those days and did not understand why admission had been delayed.
Now called Beech, it provides "step-down" support for those discharged from Sheffield Health and Social Care inpatient wards.Ms Pountney found the handover notes from Maple Ward had not provided a clear picture of Mr Etchells-Height's mental health and did not include the diagnosis of non-organic psychosis.
She said this included failure to assess Mr Etchells-Height face-to-face, with assessments instead taking place over the phone.
