Review of 10 killings shows mental health trust's failings
A review into ten killings involving people who had contact with mental health services provided by the Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust has revealed failings at the organisation.
NHS Trust criticised for failings after 'killings' involving people with links to its mental health services
Three recent killings carried out by mental health patients in Sussex could have been predicted or prevented, according to an independent report released today.
The Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust commissioned the review after it was criticised for the way it handled the cases of ten people who had links to its mental health services.
One was the case of Roger Goswell who murdered his wife Susan at their home in West Chiltington in 2007, before killing himself. His family say they pleaded with doctors to keep him in hospital.
The trust has apologised for the failings in the report.
