NHS to look into deaths of 100,000 mental health patients a year The NHS is to start investigating the deaths of more than 100,0000 mental health patients a year in a drive to cut the number of fatalities linked to poor care.
England’s 54 specialist mental health trusts have been told to start looking into every death in an effort to learn from mistakes.
In future they should more fully investigate cases in which the patient may have received poor or unsafe care, especially if they had bipolar disorder or an eating disorder. The Guardian
